Works on Horses and Equitation (Classic Reprint): A Bibliographical Record of Hippology: A Bibliographical Record of Hippology (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

A comprehensive, chronologically arranged reference for anyone researching horses and equitation. This index unites a vast range of works on the Genus Equus and related topics, from classic treatises to modern summaries. It aims to be a fuller, more trustworthy reference than previously published guides, with careful description of titles and a consistent filing system.

The editor explains how the collection was built: starting from a personal catalogue, expanding through long, careful research, and choosing breadth and clarity over extra commentary. The book follows a clear, chronological arrangement, with multiple works in the same year listed alphabetically by author. Editions and translations share headings with the first edition, and an author index appears at the end. While most items are monographs about horses, the scope also touches related natural history and occasional works on other equines, with fiction kept to a minimum and exceptions noted.

• Grounded in a long editorial effort to condense material without losing crucial details


• Organized for quick navigation by year, author, and topic (anatomy, veterinary art, cavalry, equitation, driving, shoeing, bitting, etc.)


• Includes instructions on handling foreign names and multi‑part titles to aid searchers


• Notes about scope, limitations, and occasional inclusions of non‑fiction items related to horses

Ideal for readers seeking a thorough, researchable catalogue of works on horses and equitation, including scholars, librarians, collectors, and serious enthusiasts.
