{"product_id":"arab-archery-nabih-amin-faris-9781614279242","title":"Arab Archery: An Arabic Manuscript of About A.D. 1500","description":"2016 Reprint of the 1945 edition. Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition Software. 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. 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. The Arabic manuscript is thorough and authoritative, evidently the work of an expert bowman. 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Nabih Amin Faris, Robert Potter Elmer\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1614279241\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781614279242\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Martino Fine Books\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/24\/2016\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 202\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.67lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.46d","brand":"Nabih Amin Faris","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994302775551,"sku":"9781614279242","price":13.41,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_be76d4f5-0b66-4624-91a2-b1633aac904b.jpg?v=1683329340","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/arab-archery-nabih-amin-faris-9781614279242","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
