After the murderous act above detailed, nothing seemed to prosper. Twice a covey of partridges rose and the Shikrah was sent in full pursuit, when a second hawk was inadvertently slipped, so that the danger of their "crabbing"* became imminent. And the quantity of cursing that accompanied these mishaps, instead of acting more Europeo as a sedative upon the cursers, exercised, as it usually does upon the Asiatic mind, all the proper functions of a stimulant. "The beasts have now brayed their full," whispered Hari Chand in my ear; "another minute and the kicking will begin. Are they not Belochies? With your Highness's permission I would remain at a certain distance, for these asses' foals never mind what they assault in their skittishness, provided that they can find some employment for their heels." Resisting my valorous Moonshee's proposal to "pad the hoof," I determined to act as a "friend of order," and, thanks to study of the native character, my benevolent efforts were crowned with success. Whilst the Ameer, too sullen to interfere, stood looking on apparently in hope of a row, I walked up, compelling Hari Chand to follow me, and, selecting the weaker party, began to "tell them of their faults" as the members of * When two hawks fight they are said to "crab." high-spirited English families love to do, that is to say, to overwhelm them with pointed and personal abuse. The tone of voice, a gruff base, like the basso cantante of an orchestra, withdrew attention from the rattling treble of the vocalization around. Mammu ceased to scream at Fauju; Mammed* forebore to reproach Ali with the sept pechts mortels, and Umar contented himself with internally yearning, instead of openly praying for, sudden death to descend upon the head of...

Download or read book The Art of Medieval Falconry written by Yannis Hadjinicolaou and published by Reaktion Books. This book was released on 2024-08-12 with total page 268 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A beautifully illustrated tour of the visual culture of medieval falconry in Europe and beyond. Medieval falconry was not just about hunting; the practice also signified sovereignty, power, and diplomacy. In The Art of Medieval Falconry, Yannis Hadjinicolaou describes the visual culture that sprang up around these practices, tracking how imagery, equipment, and even the birds themselves moved through the medieval world. Indeed, Hadjinicolaou shows that falconry has been a global phenomenon since at least the thirteenth century. This beautifully illustrated book offers a unique glimpse at how cultures across the globe adopted and adapted the visual culture of medieval falconry.
Download or read book The Art of Falconry by Frederick II of Hohenstaufen written by Frederick II (Holy Roman Emperor) and published by Stanford University Press. This book was released on 1961 with total page 770 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: De Arte Venandi cum Avibus was written shortly before the year 1250 by Frederick II, Holy Roman Emperor, King of Sicily and Jerusalem, in whose court, with its remarkably cosmopolitan and highly intellectual life, may be found the real beginning of the Italian Renaissance. In spite of its title, it is far more than a dissertation on hunting. There is a lengthy introduction dealing with the anatomy of birds, an intensely interesting description of avian habits, and the excursions of migratory birds. Indeed, this ancient book has long been recognized as the first zoological treatise written in the critical spirit of modern science. The sumptuous volume now in hand is, however, the first translation into English of the complete text, originally divided into a prologue and size books. Together, the translators and editors, have at last made available this classic work and have adorned it with notes, comments, bibliographies, and glossary. They have produced a work of great value to zoologists--especially the ornithologist--and also to everyone interested in the history of science and in medieval art and letters.
