Quote:Sorry for bumping this but I recently found some information about Ziyar, could anyone translate or sum it up what really means?This is from Claude Cahen's 1948 article, which I referred to previously.
Cahen notes (p. 151 n.9) that the description is difficult to interpret in detail, but claims that the machine is clearly a stand-mounted crossbow. The text appears to refer to illustrations in the Bodleian manuscript: MS Hunt 264, if anyone happens to have access?
