Wubei Zhi (Vol. 5)

No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.

No English translation of Mao Yuanyi's 'Wubizhi' (Treatise on Armament Technology) or his specific commentaries on military classics was found in any of the searched catalogs. While the 'Sanlue' (Three Strategies) itself has been translated into English (e.g., by Ralph Sawyer), those translations are of the original ancient text and do not include Mao Yuanyi's 17th-century 'Evaluation' (評) or the specific arrangement found in the 'Wubizhi'. The 'Wubizhi' is a massive 240-volume encyclopedia that remains untranslated in its entirety and in its specific commented parts.
