Hi guys,
Some of you may remember my talk in Timonium in 2008 on Manchu archery. 10 years later I'm still greatly interested in the culture and I was asked to be guest editor for a publication of Debtelin. (Debtelin is Manchu for "book") The project involved working with some 20 translators from various universities in translating -often for the first time- primary Manchu source material on archery and its deployment in battle. It was a joy to put it all together and write the introduction for this nice compilation of research. Now, it's finally done! The publication can be viewed and ordered here: https://www.etsy.com/nl/listing/5936...manchu-archery (Note: I'm not making any money on the sales of this book. The proceedings will go the non-profit Manchu foundation, and will be used for the advancement of studies of Manchu language and culture. See: https://manchufoundation.org) |

Hi Peter.
Thanks for posting the information about your new book and for donating the proceeds to a worthy cause. However, because this is a commercial announcement, it belongs in the Swap Forum. I am sending it there with a link in the Ethnographic Forum so that folks visiting there will find it. Ian |
