FastBook Publishing Die Beizjagd

Please note that this title primarily consists of content that is freely available on the internet. Falconry, the hunting with trained birds of prey on wild game, has existed for about 4000 years. Some rulers were obsessed with it, such as Karl Wilhelm Friedrich of Brandenburg-Ansbach, who maintained one of the largest falconries in Europe in the 18th century. The Staufer Frederick II had already published the first falconry book in the 13th century titled De arte venandi cum avibus and believed that the ideal falconer was the ideal ruler, for those who mastered the handling of birds of prey could also lead people. Nowadays, becoming a falconer is a responsible life task. The prerequisites are already demanding: first, a hunting exam must be passed.
