Website of the Week (WoW) #158: Illuminating the Medieval Hunt

The Morgan Library has put online the magnificent illustrations from a manuscript on hunting by Gaston III, Count of Foix (1331–1391). He wrote his hunting book late in life (1387–89), sharing his knowledge in a field in which he claimed supremacy, unlike in his two other pleasures in life, arms and love.
