My Latin has never been very good and my Lexicon has disppeared (I suspect someone has borrowed it without asking). The following passage comes from "Chronicon Colmariense" dated to 1398. I need as literal a translation as possible. I'm hoping this passage can be used to help demonstrate that mail armour could be proofed against arrows.<br>

the author states that men at arms wore, "camisiam ferream, ex circulis ferreis contextam, per quae nulla sagitta arcus poterat hominem vulnerare."<br>
