For centuries, European falconers considered the arctic and sub-arctic gyrfalcon (Falco rusticolus) an exquisite bird of prey, praised for her size and strength, her ability in the hunt, and her rarity. Whilst the Medieval gyr is now relatively well-known, less attention has been paid to the gyr in the Renaissance, especially in regions to which she is not native. Using selected ornithological and hunting treatises as well as poems and documentary sources, this paper examines the fascination with this special bird of prey in the European Renaissance, with a particular emphasis on 16th-century and early 17th-century France and Italy
