Translator and Annotator
[ Appendix Featherless Arrows | Contents ]
Nabih Amin Faris, who has just accepted an appointment on the faculty of the American University of Beirut, is the translator. Previous to that he was Research Associate in Oriental Languages and curator of the Arabic and Islamic MSS, Princeton University and recently Head of the Arabic Desk, Office of War Information. He is the editor and translator of Antiquities of South Arabia, and editor of The Arab Heritage and of Al-Iklil.
Robert Potter Elmer, who furnishes the interesting and informative Notes and Appendix, is an accomplished archer, eight times national champion in the sport. He is the author of Archery, the standard work in English on the practice and history of archery, and has contributed all the archery etymologies in Webster's New International Dictionary, as well as the article on archery in the Encyclopedia Britannica, fourteenth edition.

As works on sports in this collection are not numerous, this one attracted special attention. Faris thought of publishing the work but was dissuaded by his unfamiliarity with archery either in theory or practice. In , however, he wrote an article on the Garrett Collection for the Princeton University Library Chronicle, and in the course of it referred casually to this manuscript. This article fell into the hands of Elmer, whose interest in archery i
