The study essays a typology of courtly masquerades from the 15th to
the 18th century. Mummeries, knightly tournaments, fancy-dress
banquets and masked balls in all their various forms are analyzed
as enactments or distillations of courtly ceremony. The examination
of the socio-symbolic function of masquerades is supplemented by a
detailed discussion of the practical side of these events and the
regalia and paraphernalia they required, from the planning stage to
the managing of the events themselves and the storage of the
costumes. By adducing evidence of intensive reutilization of
textiles and props, critical light is cast on the widely accepted
clichA(c) of the court festivity as 'prodigality elevated to an
art-form'.
