1573 CORTE, Claudio. Il Cavalerizzo - Printed Appresso Alessandro Marsiliy, Lyon.1573. 4to. pp. [xx], 325, [4]. Contemporary full vellum, rebacked. This is the best 16th Century edition as it was enlarged for and dedicated to the French King Charles IX. The earliest book on horsemanship in the collection, this was translated into English Thomas Bedingfield . Althought distinct in collation this is often found bound together with John Astley's book on the same subject as was the case in the Duke of Gloucester Sale Provenance: Bookplate of Anthony Michael Del Balso. Provenance: The estate of Tony Sweeney
