"Why have you not sent the clothes which you were supposed to send
from the province of the Frisians? For the sake of God the
Almighty, send them soon."- from an anonymous letter to a cleric in
Frisia in the spring of 748. In this work the author presents a
pioneering cultural history of clothing from approx. 750 to 1050,
which places the clothing and life of medieval people in their
social context. The findings of this volume are based on the
detailed examination and evaluation of written, graphic and
archaeological sources. The author presents the clothing of the
laity, the robes of the ruling classes and the habits of monks and
cathedral clergy, and gives an overview of the changes in clothing
and fashion. A more technical second section deals with raw
materials, dyes, and production and processing technology.
