I have been trying for many years now to make a collection of any ancient and medieval texts on warfare, as I guess many of us have done and do. Of course I have studied most Graecoroman texts, a lot of medieval European texts, even some later manuals especially on cavalry tactics. Of course, apart from manuals, descriptions of battles in any sort of literature are also very informative. What I am looking for is more non-European sources. I am sure there are a lot of relevant Muslim texts but I only have a handful of them, very few Indian texts and some Chinese and Korean. It seems that very few informative texts have been written or survived in the east. Any ideas?
