Treatise on archery
Jūkhī al-Mawṣilī, Yūsuf ibn Muḥammad جوخي الموصلي، يوسف بن محمد - Scope & Content:
-
A short untitled treatise on archery by Yūsuf ibn Muḥammad al-Jūkhī al-Mawṣilī (يوسف بن محمد الجوخي الموصلي, dates unknown) in the tradition of al-Kitāb al-wāḍiḥ fī al-ramy wa-al-nushshāb (كتاب الواضح في الرمي والنشاب) by ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Aḥmad al-Ṭabarī (عبد الرحمن بن أحمد طبري, active ca 9th century), who is mentioned on f. 1v.
The volume has been trimmed and repaired, resulting in losses to the side-headings in the margins.
Contents:
- The fundamental points [in bow-shooting] (الأصول, ff. 2r-2v);
- Faults in shooting (مسئلة في عيوب الرمي, ff. 3r-4v);
- Propositions on the principles of archery (thirty-one are cited but there are only thirty in the text), compiled by ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sulaymān al-Yamanī (عبد الله ابن سليمان اليمني, ff. 4v-23r).
Begins (f. 1v, lines 2-5):
قال الأستاذ
يوسف بن محمد الجوخي الموصلي عفا الله
عنه أن أئمة الرمي بعد سعد ابن
أبي وقاص رضي الله عنه ثلاثة...
Ends (f. 23r, line 3-f. 23v, line 5):
...ما كان إلى
القوة والصلابة أبلغ من اليسار وذلك
يصلح لأصحاب الطاقة والرمي علي
القسي الشديدة لأن السهام بخلاف
سهام القسي اللينة واليسار يصلح لأصحاب
القسي اللينة والله أعلم بالصواب
وإليه المرجع والمآب
وصلى الله على سيدنا محمد وآله وصحبه وسلم
