Ordini di cavalcari.
Mennessier de la Lance. I, p. 581 for the original edition
One of many editions of this treatise by Federico Grisone, a Neapolitan equerry and one of the most famous figures of the Italian Renaissance, considered in his day to be the father of horsemanship. His work is the first of all modern equestrian literature, laying the foundations of riding school and outdoor riding, and covering the training and breaking-in of horses.
Published in Naples in 1550, it was immediately translated into several languages, including French as early as 1559. It thus became the first French-language work on horse training.
Divided into four books, the work is illustrated with 2 small ground plans, 50 engravings of bits, each inducing a specific action, a large figure of a horse showing its various anatomical parts and related diseases, all wood-engraved.
Small pink spot of mildew in lower margin of leaves.
