Dear members,
I would give here the link to my site.
It doesn't a commercial site, you will can find links to my full text books and articles about archery history and medieval military history (main in Italian). So I hope they can be useful for you.

Nice to hear you here, I knew your some articles in "Arcosophia" (on the other hand I tried to contact Editor but I never answered).

I've really interested on your "History of the Islamic Archery" (Storia dell'Arcieria Islamica) series but Babelfish translation is not good.

Your site easily translate to English via http://babelfish.yahoo.com. Congrats!!

Thank you Metin for your appreciations.

But I don't unerstand your words:

>but Babelfish translation is not good.
>Your site easily translate to English via http://babelfish.yahoo.com.

I.e. do you have successful translate it, or not ?

He probably means that Babelfish translates the pages in your site easily, but the translation results are not good.

(I also wish I knew Italian much better. Your English article up there on De Re Militari is quite impressive, and I suppose I can expect the same standards of scholarship from your other works--if only I could read them.)

Babelfish is the best solution for "navigate" the translated site only. But not enough the translate advanced writings (e.g. articles).

I can understand your site but article is not clear via Babelfish. If you have English version it will be great! Or we can talk on it.

Thank you Hyarmendacil.
I've understod what Metin was sayng.
Unfortunately my articles and books are only in Italian.
At moment the only article in English is "Saracen Archery in Southern Italy" published in the Journal of S. A. A. an linked in my site to
online version on Deremilitari.
