Are these the things to read on the Bow from Yrzi, Syria? - Sean Manning - 05-31-2019

Brown, Frank E. "A Recently Discovered Compound Bow," Annales de l’Institut Kondakov, Prague, 1937.

Statements about a reconstruction are floating around the Internet, I don't know if that is in Coulston's article.

Hello Sean,

Well, the reply is a bit late, but may be it will be useful for somebody. Certainly the whole Brown's article is about the Yrzi bow. Coulston writes about the bow on pages 239-241. He mentions a reconstruction of the bow by Edward McEwen. I haven't read Rausig, but his book is mentioned by Coulston in endnotes when dealing with the Yrzi bow.

Greetings,
Alexandr
