Currently, our organisation has a 1470 Mamluk Treatise called Kitāb al-makhzūn jāmiʻ al-funūn (The treasure that combines all arts). It’s a treatise on military arts, covering such topics as training, cavalry, infantry, archery, and crossbow.
Being the main point of reconstructing Historical Martial Arts on the continent, we have found a publisher who specialises in Classical Arabic who would be able to translate this. However, the price given is £5,500 which is quite a reasonable rate concerning what it entails: not only would this provide an understandable translation but also Historical commentary and context to go with it; including relative and awkward phrasing. The equivalent would be having to get a manual on classical Latin or Medieval German translating. In short, it would cut us to the point and enable us to get this manual translated.
Thank you.
