Abstract
The book "Ādāb al-Ḥarb wa al-Shujā'a," written by Moḥammad ibn Mansūr ibn Saīd (known as Mubarak Shah and famously known as Fakhr Mudabir), is one of the important works of the seventh century AH, which, apart from its linguistic value, has a special place in terms of historical and social aspects. The contents of the book, as its name suggests, mostly relate to battle tactics, army organization and training, descriptions and uses of weapons, presentation and order of the army, allocation of battlefield, royal ceremony, sending messengers and sending gifts, and similar issues. The author has also given advice to the king, army commander, and the people. The knowledge that "Ādāb al-Ḥarb wa al-Shujā'a " provides about the color and shape, defects and causes of horses, and the treatments of their diseases is valuable, and through it, new insights can be added to the vocabularies of the Persian language or complements to existing definitions. Nearly sixty years ago, Ahmad Soheili Khansari made an effort to edit this work, and he published his work in 1346 SH. In this article, we have reviewed some terms from this book.
