Footnotes
In L'histoire de la nature des oyseaux Belon du Mans, "one of the founders of of the renewed studies of birds, ... mentions about two hundred different birds, mainly European, but some foreign. He make many original observations.. [also treating] anatomical and morphological conditions" (Anker), whilst also drawing upon earlier writers such as Aristotle and Pliny. Schwerdt notes that the second part "is interesting to falconers", the fine woodcut illustrations including a depiction of a falconer luring a bird, and several of owls, "including the eagle owl, much used in hawking".
