This study compares evidence for medieval ships and shipbuilding
from archaeological sources with contemporary depictions in
manuscripts. Traditionally evidence in illuminated manuscripts has
been treated with caution and scepticism when it comes to medieval
maritime study, and Joe Flatman attempts to assess more accurately
their accuracy. To this end the study includes vast catalogues of
both kinds of evidence, and draws detailed conclusions about the
reliability of manuscript illustration - whilst individual
components are often accurately depicted, rigging is for example
for more prone to error than hulls.
