No prior complete English translation of this text has been found.
The Wubizhi (Treatise on Military Preparedness) is a monumental 240-volume Chinese military encyclopedia from 1621. Extensive searches in scholarly catalogs, Open Library, and Google Books returned no results for an English translation of the work or specifically Volume 90. While academic literature often references the work and has translated specific maps (like the Mao Kun Map in Vol. 240), no published English translation of the text itself exists.
