The 'Wubei Zhi' (Treatise on Armament Technology) is a massive 240-volume military encyclopedia compiled by Mao Yuanyi in 1621. While specific sections, such as the 'Mao Kun map' or certain martial arts chapters, have been excerpted and analyzed in scholarly works (e.g., by Meir Shahar or in maritime history texts found in the search), no record of a complete English translation of the entire work or of volume 98 specifically exists in the searched catalogs. Given its enormous scale, it remains untranslated in its entirety.
