Description
The Baz-nama-yi Nasiri stands as one of the most significant historical treatises on falconry ever written. Originally composed in Persian, this detailed work provides invaluable insights into the sophisticated practices of falcon hunting during the medieval Islamic period. Douglas Phillot’s scholarly translation makes this classical text accessible to modern readers interested in ornithology, sports history, and Persian culture.
The treatise covers extensive topics including falcon selection, training methods, hunting techniques, and the care of birds of prey. It represents not merely a practical manual but also a window into the aristocratic pastimes and cultural values of Persian society. The work demonstrates the high level of knowledge medieval Persian scholars possessed regarding bird behavior, animal husbandry, and hunting practices.
This edition from Gyan Publishing House preserves the historical significance of the original work while presenting it in a format suitable for contemporary scholars, historians, and enthusiasts of falconry and natural history.
