The 'Wubeizhi' (Treatise on Armament Technology) is a massive 240-volume military encyclopedia from the Ming Dynasty. While scholarly works by authors like Meir Shahar and Shih-shan Henry Tsai reference and provide short excerpts or analysis of specific sections (such as martial arts or navigation maps), no complete English translation of the work or of Volume 10 exists. Catalog searches across UNESCO Index Translationum and other major repositories returned no records for a published English edition.
