Footnote
A scarce companion work to Phillott's translation of a Persian treatise on falconry, the Baz-Nama-yi Nasiri, which had been published by Bernard Quaritch in 1908 in a similar pictorial green cloth binding. There is no limitation statement in the present work, though it appears to be scarcer than the Baz-Nama-yi Nasiri, which was limited to 500 copies.
