In some research I have been doing, I came across a reference to the Book of King Modus written in French, by Henry de Ferrieres.
Apparently it was the first printed book that was written about hunting with a chapter on how to shoot a bow and arrow and was published in about 1359 AD.
I have managed to get a part translation of the chapter and have managed to get an e-book copy of the original book.
My question is, does anyone know of a full english translation

Hello Dave, There are bits of this book translated by Walrond, in the archer's register under L'art d'Archerie

It is also possible that the author of "Master of Game" drew upon Modus for much of his work

Hope this helps

Not a lot of help I realise, but within 'Archers d'Autre fois, : Archers d@Aujourd'hui' by Henri Stein published in Paris in 1925,l there is an Appendix - Pp 239 - 246 devoted to the book of Roy Modus Trouble is. it is in French !.

Thanks Hugh, unfortunately my french is virtually non existant.
I do have various translations in part from other books, I was just curious is a full translation in english existed.
