Janus Ulitius [Jan van Vliet] - Venatio Novantiqua - Sammelband Jagd in rotem Maroquineinband - rara - 1645

"Venatio Novantiqua" by Janus Ulitius (Jan van Vliet), compiled in 1645, is part of an esteemed tradition of early modern hunting literature. Hunting treatises of this period often combined practical knowledge about game and hunting techniques with reflections on ethics and aristocratic culture. The collection presented in a red morocco binding signifies a deluxe edition, and the rarity of such works today reflects their importance for historians studying early modern leisure activities, social status, and human interaction with nature. The volume is an artifact of 17th-century aristocratic life when hunting was both a sport and a symbol of power.
