# The Master of Game: The Oldest English Book on Hunting

By of Norwich Edward and count of Foix Gaston III Phoebus.

"The Master of Game: The Oldest English Book on Hunting" by Edward of Norwich is a medieval hunting treatise written between 1406 and 1413. Dedicated to the future Henry V, this work primarily translates Gaston III's famous French hunting manual while adding five original chapters on English hunting practices. As master of game under Henry IV, Edward adapted continental hunting wisdom for English readers, covering everything from deer and hare hunting to the proper conduct of the chase, creating what endures as England's oldest hunting book.
