Offering a rare view of 17th-century ornithology, this beautifully presented volume combines extracts from a 1622 Italian treatise, Uccelliera, or ‘The Aviary’, with illustrations based on original artworks by Vincenzo Leonardi (c.1590–1646). This first English translation reveals a world where wild birds are abundant and birdkeeping is common, not only for prized species and songbirds, but also to provide food and folk remedies. With a foreword by Helen Macdonald, the author of H is for Hawk.
