Arab Archery: An Arabic Manuscript of about A.D. 1500 Faris Nabih AminPaperback
2016 Reprint of the 1945 edition. When it was first published, this was the first work on the subject from the medieval Arab world that had been made available in English. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software.
The Arabic manuscript is thorough and authoritative, evidently the work of an expert bowman. The original manuscript which formed the basis for this translation is contemporary with Ascham's "Toxophilus", which is considered the only source of detailed knowledge of English archery. A vast amount of information concerning the long-range artillery, by which one eastern empire after another had been won, is here brought forward into full light after having laid hidden for centuries.
It can still serve as a textbook on archery to this day.
