The Wubeizhi (武備志) is a massive 240-volume military compendium from the Ming Dynasty. While specific sections, such as the 'Mao Kun' navigation maps or certain martial arts techniques, have been studied and excerpted in scholarly works (e.g., by Meir Shahar or in maritime histories), no complete English translation of the full work or its individual volumes has been published. Search results in scholarly and library catalogs confirm the absence of a standalone English edition.
