The Livre de chasse is a medieval book on hunting, written between 1387 and 1389 by Gaston III, Count of Foix, also known as Fébus or Phoebus, and dedicated to Philip the Bold, Duke of Burgundy. Fébus was one of the greatest huntsmen of his day and his treatise became the standard text on medieval hunting techniques. It was described by scholar, Hannele Klemettilä, as "one of the most influential texts of its era". The book has four parts: On Gentle and Wild Beasts On the Nature and Care of Dogs On Instructions for Hunting with Dogs On Hunting with Traps, Snares, and Crossbow Editions and translations The text was translated (and adapted) into English by Edward of Norwich, 2nd Duke of York, between 1406 and 1413, as The Master of Game of which 27 manuscripts survive. The work was printed three times in the 16th century (once around 1500 and twice around 1507), and has gone through several modern editions since 1854, most recently in Das Jagdbuch des Mittelalters.
