  34. The falconry fascinated also Federico II. He considered it both a symbolic manifestation of the power tied to precise rituals and a true passion that he cultivated during all his life. He summoned to his court many skillful Middle Eastern falconers and introduced the use of hooding the falcons instead of the preceding technique of ciliaring them. In practical he was the first to introduce falconry in the western world, respecting the rapaces. He began to study the behaviour of the birds in order to have enough data to write a falconry treaty.

  35. With the strong personality of Federico II of Svevia (1194/1250), King of Sicilia and Emperor of the Sacro Romano Impero, falconry finds its best expression.Paintings, mosaics, are testimonials of the growing of this art and of the increasing importance attributed to this.

  36. Thanks to his practice and scientific treaty “De Arte Venandi Cum Avibus” that gave a great tribute to this art.

Se compone de los libros del manuscrito original : Sobre el uso del señuelo, el afeitado de los halcones, la educación de los gerifaltes y otros halcones. - La caza de las grullas con gerifalte y otros halcones. - La caza de la garza con sacres y otros halcones. - La caza de ribera con el halcón peregrino.
