De bestijs quas comedunt, & de vestibus, ac de venatione eorum.

MAgni domini habent casalia versus meridiem, de quibus afferunt eis milium & farinam contra hyemem. pauperes procurant sibi pro arietibus & pellibus commutando. Slaui etiam implent ventrem suum aqua crassa, & hac contenti sunt. Mures cum longis caudis non comedunt & omne genus murium habens curtam cauda••••. Sunt etiam ibi multae marmotes, quas ipsi vocant Sogur: quae conueniunt in vna fouea in hyeme 20. vel 30. pariter, & dor∣miunt sex mensibus: quas capiunt in magna multitudine. Sunt etiam ibi, cuniculi habentes longam caudam sicut cati; & in summitate caudae habent pilos nigros & albos. Habent & multas alias bestiolas bonas ad comedendum: quas ipsi valde bene discenunt. Ceruos non vidi ibi. lepores paucos vidi, gaselos mulos. Asinos syluestres vidi in magna multitudine, qui sunt quasi muli. Vidi & aliud genus animalis quod dicitur Artak, quod habet recte corpus arie∣tis & cornua torta, sed tantae quantitatis, quod vix potram vna manu leuare duo conua: & faciunt de cornibus illis ciphos magnos. Habent falcones, girfalcones, & herodios in magna multitudine: quos omnes portant super manum dexteram: & ponunt semper salconi vnam conigiam paruulam circa collum, quae pendet ei vsque ad medieatem pectoris: per quam cum proijint um ad predam, inclinant cum sinistra manu caput & pectus alconis, ne verberetur à vento, vel ne feratur surum. Magnum ergo partem victus sui acquirunt ventione. De vestibus & habitu eorum noueriis, quod de Cataya & alijs regionibus Orientis, & etiam de Perside & alijs regionibus au••••ri veniunt eis panni serici & aurei,* 1.1 & telae de bambasio, quibus induuntur in ae••••ate. De Russia, de Moxel, & Maiore Bulgaia & Pscatir, quae est maior Hungari, & Kerss: (que omnes sunt regiones ad Aquilonem & plenae syluis:) & alijs multis regionibus ad latus a∣quilonare, quae eis obediunt, adducuntur eis eiles prcioae multi generis: quas nunquā vidi in partibus nostris: Quibus induuntur in hyeme. Et faciunt semper in hyeme duas pellices ad minus: vnam, cuius pilus est ad carnem: aliam cuius pilus est xta contra vnum & niues, quae multoties sunt de pellibus lupinis vel vupibus vel papionibus. Et dum sedent in domo habent aliam delicatiorem. Pauperes faciunt illas extcricres de canibus & capris. Quum volunt venari feras, conueniunt magna multitudo & circundant rgionm in qua siut feras esse, & paulatim appropinquant sibi, donec concludani feás inter 〈◊〉〈◊〉 qusi infia circulum, & tunc sagitant ad eas faciunt etiam braccas de pellibus. Diuites etiam furrant vestes suas de stupa setae, quae est supra modum mollis, & leuis & calida. Pauperes surrant vestes de ela de bambasio, de delicatio lana quam possunt extrahere: de grssiori fcint filtrm ad coo∣periendum demos suas & cistas, & ad lectisternia. De lana etiam & tetia parte piloum qui admixta, faciunt cordas suas. De filtro etiam faciunt pauellas sub ellis, & ••••pas contra pluuiam. Vnde multum expendunt de lana. Habitum virorum vicis••••s.* 1.2
