The Master of Game
''The Master of Game'' is a medieval book on hunting written by Edward of Norwich, 2nd Duke of York, between 1406 and 1413, of which 27 manuscripts survive. It is considered to be the oldest English-language book on hunting.〔The earlier ''Art de vénerie'', written by the huntsman of Edward II, ''ca'' 1328, though written in England, was written in Norman French.〕〔 It was reprinted in 1904 with a translation into modern English, an essay on medieval hunting, and a foreword by then-American President and noted hunter Theodore Roosevelt.
==Overview==
Written between 1406 and 1413 by Edward, second Duke of York, ''The Master of Game'' is mostly a translation of an earlier work by Gaston Phoebus entitled ''Livre de Chasse'',〔Of its thirty-six chapters only five are original; the Duke's text is printed in italics in the 1904 edition, which is drawn from the early 15th-century Cottonian MS Vespasian B, xii.〕 and is considered to be the oldest English language book on hunting.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=The master of game / by Edward, second Duke of York. the oldest English book on hunting / edited by Wm. A. and F. Baillie-Grohman; with a foreword by Theodore Roosevelt )〕 Edward held the position of master of game during the reign of Henry IV and in a prologue dedicated the book to Henry, Prince of Wales, later to become Henry V, as a set of instructions on how to proceed with the hunt. Although ''The Master of Game'' is mostly based on the earlier work, Edward added an additional five chapters which dealt with English hunting,〔 including comprehensive coverage of hunting for deer and hare in the English style.
Several chapters from the previous work were also omitted, including sections on the ibex and the reindeer which were not relevant quarry for medieval Englishmen. Other chapters omitted included those on trapping and the conduct of hunts in France.〔
