In reply to:

The Book of St. Albans, 1486, as the seminal authority. Any idea how to find that, or any reprint, to check for butterflies?

Should any AWADer have one hundred and fifty pounds to spare:

See under Berners for a Victorian reprint of the Book of St. Albans.

PS. I googled with Albans hunting hawking

PPS. If I've understood this entry correctly, a microfiche copy is available somewhere in Chicago. Is there a University of Chicago?
