Örnek Metin	Detached folio, ink, pigments and gold on paper, painting (on verso) and Arabic text, from a set of twelve detached folios and one codex, Cairo, Egypt, dated 1366. Painting: a horseman with a sword and flaming shield, with side-caption: "Image of a horseman with an iron helmet on his head, with a sword. A fire is lit on the helmet, the sword blade and in the middle of the shield". First composed in Mamluk Damascus, al-Aqsara'i's well-known military encyclopaedia describes the many skills required for an effective cavalry army, organised in twelve lessons. This painting is from Lesson Three, "On the Use of the Sword", under Method Two, "The Use of the Sword, Shield and Fire". There is an extensive Arabic literature on the arts of horsemanship, and this copy (made in Cairo in 1366) is one of the earliest illustrated examples in existence. These arts include the care and training of horses, the correct handling of weapons, and equestrian parade displays for the hippodrome, as well as cavalry formations in battle, just distribution of war booty, and treaty negotiations.
