al-Tadbīrāt al-sulṭānīyah fī siyāsat al-ṣināʿah al-ḥarbīyah التدبيرات السلطانية في سياسة الصناعة الحربية
Ibn Manjlī, Muḥammad ابن منجلي، محمد
- Scope & Content:
-
A treatise on the management of armies and preparation for warfare, by Muḥammad Ibn Manjlī (or Mankalī or Manglī) al-Nāṣirī (محمد ابن منكلي, fl. 1362-76, see ff. 45r, line 6 and 58r, line 1).
The author was a high-ranking officer in the guard of Sultan al-Malik al-Ashraf Shaʿbān (reg. 764–78/1362–76), and wrote several other works, some now lost, on military matters (see f. 37r).
The treatise, defective at beginning and end and undated, includes sections on archery, lance techniques, horsemanship, and the apotropaic value of letters and numbers when inscribed on arms and armour (ff. 38r-41v).
Begins (f. 1r, lines 1-4):
... وأصله موافقة الإله المعبود وهذا في حق الله
تعالى وأما في حق البشر فهو موافقة الأمر في
نفسه قال القز وشرطه بسط النفس عند بروز
أوامر الأمر وإن عسر الخطب…
Ends (f. 78v, lines 4-7):
... وأما اختلاف
أسلحتهما على التفصيل راجل معه رمح وفارس
معه رمح فسبيل الراجل أن يسدد برمحه ثغريًا
فمتى فعل ذلك امتنع الفارس من الدخول
