The Baz-nama-yi Nasiri
Prince, grandson of Fath Ali Shah, Shah of Iran, -1875? Taymur Mirza and Douglas Craven Phillott
At the Persian court, a prince set down the art of the hunting hawk for his Shah. This treatise sorts the birds of prey into the yellow-eyed and the dark-eyed, then teaches the training and flying of each with courtly precision. A rare window into falconry as practiced in nineteenth-century Persia. Enter an ancient tradition of kings, hawks, and the open field.
Every copy includes a printable PDF edition, a beautifully typeset book you can print, mark up in the margins, and keep on your shelf. Yours the moment you own it.
