RUSIO, Lorenzo (fl. early 14th century). La mareschalerie ... ou sont contenuz remedes tres-singuliers contre les maladies des chevaux. Paris: Adrian Perier, 1610. 4° (224 x 151mm). Title device, full-page woodcut illustrations. (Dedication leaf extensively repaired, lighter repairs elsewhere, occasional catch-letter cropped away.) Brown morocco by Brugalla, blind-panelled sides with gilt supralibros, gilt sporting turn-ins, gilt edges. Provenance: bought from José Porter, 1952.
The last edition of Ruso's medieval text to be published, similar to the edition of 1583 and with the same dedication, but printed by Adrian Perier rather than Guillaume Auvray. Most of the illustrations are of horse's bits, but the fine figure of a horse is shown on verso of the final leaf. Mennessier de la Lance II, 469.
