Rosselmini Niccolò (6 results)

First Edition. Only Edition of this horse training manual which ?anticipates by about two centuries the modern theories of biomechanics? (Tomassini). Rosselmini was the superintendent of the Grand Duke of Tuscany?s stud-farms in San Rossore and the director of a riding school in Siena. He devotes the first section to the different parts of the horse, what roles they play in locomotion and the different gaits. In contrast to current beliefs, he argues that a horse?s front legs support its weight while the back legs regulate motion. In the second section, he focuses on how to raise foals and train their movements ? something he claims even his young sickly son was able to do in two years. In part three, he focuses on riders, their posture and how to direct a horse, including PARTICIPATING IN MOUNTED PROCESSIONS, PAGEANTS, EQUESTRIAN BALLETS, JOUSTS AND TILTS. He closes with advice on breeding and managing herds. In modest condition (foxing, some quires browned, paper flaws and two leaves unopened at top edge, bottom margin of title repaired).
