Learning outcomes
The course focuses on the development of art of falconry (UNESCO Intangible Heritage) during the Middle Ages, and especially through the important treaty of Frederick II. As well as being an important exercise for the aristocratic elite hunting, hunting with raptors is a representation and an exercise of art of government, and has close connections with wisdom growth. The course will also deepen the evolution of these issues that arise with strong similarities across different civilizations and different periods, between East and West.
