From the Collection:

Gaston Phébus

Dogs were an extremely important part of the hunt, thus Phébus devoted his second book to their nature and care. The illustration on the left introduces chapter 24, which suggests that dogs should be allowed to romp twice a day, in the morning and in the evening, and that every dog should be combed. The miniature on the right begins chapter 25, on making sundry snares and nets. Also included is a detail showing the production of cord, the basic material for the nets, on a rope maker's spinning wheel. At the far right, dogs are being fed.
