First Complete Translation
Only partial translations or excerpts exist. This is the first complete English translation.
The 'Wubei Zhi' (Treatise on Military Preparations) is a massive 240-volume military encyclopedia from the Ming Dynasty. While specific sections have been translated into English (such as the sword manual by Jack Chen or the Zheng He navigation maps), no complete English translation of the entire work or of Volume 45 (or Volume 107, as shown in the OCR) exists. This publication would represent the first complete translation of this specific volume/section.
