Ad 1: Written around 1370 by the Norman nobleman Henri de Ferrières, the 'Livre' is the oldest hunting treatise in the French language. The manuscript was probably created for Duke Philip the Good of Burgundy, the third of the great Burgundian dukes who brought together an empire that surpassed all others in wealth and power.€ 120
