Catalogue Note
Both works were first published in 1575. The second work, sometimes also attributed to Turberville, is actually an adaptation by George Gascoigne of La Vénerie, by Jacques du Fouilloux (1573). The plates were reused from the 1575 edition, with those on F6r and I3r altered so that James I replaced Elizabeth I.
