Notlar	Anonymous compendium on military technologies and skills. The manuscript is defective at the beginning and the author's name is unknown. The assumed title 'On Using the Sword' (ذكر العمل بالسيف) is taken from a heading on f. 1r. The copy was completed on 9 Rabī' I 739/24 September 1338 by an unnamed scribe, based on an exemplar dated 9 Rajab 588/21 July 1192 (see colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. , f. 64v, lines 13-15, transcribed below). The last folio (f. 65), containing an unrelated text on the early caliphs and imams, is an open bifolio with the same dimensions of the folia of the main text block, bound in at a right angle to the text block with its bottom edge to the volume’s spine. It is written in black ink with rubrications, on European paper with tre lune watermark, 21 lines to the page. Contents: End of the preface (f. 1r); Treatise on using the sword (ff. 1r-8v): Introduction with anecdotes regarding the virtues of swords and jihad (ff. 1r-2r), followed by an abridgment of a treatise by Yaʿqūb ibn Isḥāq al-Kindī (يعقوب ابن اسحاق الكندي, d. ca 873) known as 'On Swords and their Kinds' (في السيوف واجناسها). The majority of this treatise is included, from half way through the introduction (ff. 2r-7r). This is followed by an additional section on the qualities of swords, not by al-Kindī (ff. 7r-8v); On the good qualities of the sheath (في الاغماد ظريف, ff. 8v-9v); Chapter on the shield (باب التراس, ff. 9v-16v); Chapter on archery (باب الرمي, ff. 16v-39v): This lengthy chapter covers topics including the different types of bows, qualities of the arrow, quivers, the bowstring, stunt shooting, archery on the battlefield, attacking and defending fortresses, lookouts and ambushes, shooting from horseback, and shooting multiple arrows at once; Chapter on using the mace (باب العمل بالعمود, ff. 39v-40r); Chapter on using the javelin (باب العمل بالمزراق, ff. 40r-40v); Chapter on using the lasso (باب العمل بالوهق, ff. 40v-41v); Chapter on jumping and riding (باب الوثب والركوب, ff. 41v-64v): This chapter covers riding while using weapons and other equipment, horseracing, descriptions of the parade ground, and mounted games. Begins (f. 1r, line 1): [illegible...] ثم في ذكر الرمى (f. 1v, lines 1-3): في سعة ولامضيق ولازحام ولا برّ ولا بنحر ولا ريح شديد فقد [...] يثقل الرمح في الريح ويطيش النشاب فيها ولاغنا لأحد عنه وقد يكون [...] لكل صنف وبلد من الناس سلاح به يقاتلون واليه ينسبون Ends (f. 64v, lines 9-13): فان لم يتهيأ لك ذلك العجلة والمزاحمة بقربها فلترفع من الارض ثم تستلبها والفروسية عادة بكثرة الا إدمان عليها نجز والحمد لله ربّ العالمين وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وعلى آله اجمعين الطيبين الطاهرين Colophon Section at the end of a manuscript text. (f. 64v, lines 14-16): وهو آخر الكتاب ووقع الفراغ منه في يوم السبت تاسع شهر ربيع الأول سنة تسعة وثلاثين وسبعمائة وتاريخ نسخت الأول في تاسع رجب سنة ثمان وثمانين وخمسمائة كان
