Hi,

here's the link:

There's quite a lot about archery in it. Illustrated.

Thank you for the link! I wonder how you found it? Very interesting book, I heard about the book but I never had the chance to found it. Now, I have to learn French...

Too good we have online translators. Very useful information and good illustrations.

I found it by accident. I was looking for a Shanghai dialect dictionary and discovered this digital library:

There are lots of cool old (and not so old as well) books there on China and related topics.
Very interesting stuff. Check it.
Not only French.

Stephen has translated this into English in Chinese Archery.
