Commentary

Les ouvriers d'armes offensives sont compris sous les noms groupés des archers, artilliers, arbalétriers, arquebusiers auxquels il faut ajouter les fourbisseurs d'épée et les couteliers. Ces dénominations de métiers sont empruntées aux instruments qu'ils fabriquaient.
Offensive weapon workers are included under the collective names of archers, artillerymen, crossbowmen, and arquebusiers, to which must be added swordsmiths and cutlers. These trade names are borrowed from the instruments they made.
