from a variety of angles and approaches. The essays in this volume
continue the Journal's tradition of groundbreaking
interdisciplinary work. The volume opens with a survey of the

Anglo-Saxon England; intertextual literary identities established
through clothing in the Nibelungenlied and the Voelsunga Saga; the
historical record of clothing and textiles at the court of King
John of England; medallion silks, their use in Western Europe, and
their representation in art; the vestments of Beguines and other
penitential movements in the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries;

The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing
from a variety of angles and approaches. The essays here take us
from the eleventh century, with an exploration of the Bayeux
Tapestry, into an examination and reconstruction of an extant
thirteenth-century sleeve in France which provides a rare and early
example of medieval quilted armour, and finally on to late medieval
Sweden and the reconstruction of gilt-leather intarsia coverlets. A
study of construction techniques and the evolution of form of gable
and French hoods in the late medieval and the early modern periods
follows; and the volume also includes a study of the Great Wardrobe
under Edward I of England, and what it can tell us about textiles
at the time.

The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing
from a range of disciplines. This sixth volume of Medieval Clothing
and Textiles ranges widely, as ever, across England and Europe. It
presents two groundbreaking articles in novel areas of textile and
dress scholarship: an introduction to a previouslyunexamined class
of embroidery (decorative manuscript repair), and an
English-language overview of scholarly research on historical dress
in Latvia. Among the other topics considered in the volume are two
very different listingsof clothing items from medieval Germany: an
invented lexicon by the mystic Hildegard of Bingen, and an
accounting of specific real garments worn by ordinary people and
donated to finance the building of Strasbourg Cathedral. Papers
also consider the mercantile world of clothing in medieval London:
one gathers insight on dealers of secondhand clothing from the
evidence of historical documents, while the other examines the
social rise of the mercers in the light of their representation in
literature, and their connections to the literary world. Further
articles consider luxurious dress accessories with both worldly and
spiritual significance, and analyse a French manual for
Englishhousewives, illuminating the often-overlooked topic of home
linen production. Contributors: Hilary Davidson, Ieva Pigozne,

The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing
from a range of disciplines. Topics in this volume range widely
throughout the European middle ages. Three contributions concern
terminology for dress. Two deal with multicultural medieval Apulia:
an examination of clothing terms in surviving marriage contracts
from the tenth to the fourteenth century, and a close focus on an
illuminated document made for a prestigious wedding. Turning to
Scandinavia, there is an analysis of clothing materials from Norway
and Sweden according to gender and social distribution. Further
papers consider the economic uses of cloth and clothing: wool
production and the dress of the Cistercian community at Beaulieu
Abbey based on its 1269-1270 account book, and the use of clothing
as pledge or payment in medieval Ireland. In addition, there is a
consideration of the history of dagged clothing and its negative
significance to moralists, and of the painted hangings that were
common in homes of all classes in the sixteenth century. ROBIN
NETHERTON is a professional editor and a researcher/lecturer on the
interpretation of medieval European dress; GALE R. OWEN-CROCKER is
Emerita Professor of Anglo-Saxon Culture at the University of

First volume in new series dedicated to medieval clothing and
textiles, drawing from a range of disciplines and with a special
focus on reconstruction and re-enactment. The study of medieval
clothing and textiles has aroused great attention in recent years,
as part of the growing concern in material culture as a whole;
apart from its own intrinsic interest, it has much to reveal about
life at thetime. This exciting new series aims to offer all those
interested in the subject the fruits of the best research in the
area. Interdisciplinary in approach, it will feature work from the
fields of social and economic history, history of techniques and
technology, art history, archaeology, literary and non-literary
texts, and language, while experimental reconstruction of medieval
techniques or artifacts will also form a particular focus. The
contents of each volume are selected to cover a broad geographical
scope, as well as a range of periods from early medieval to the
late Middle Ages. The journal also publishes short reviews of new
books. Topics in this first volume include Anglo-Saxon embroidery;
textiles and textile imagery in the Exeter Book; the tippet; the
regulation of clerical dress; and evidence for dress and textiles
in late medieval English wills. ROBIN NETHERTON is a
costumehistorian. Her research focuses on Western European clothing
between the twelfth and fifteenth centuries. GALE R. OWEN-CROCKER
is Professor of Anglo-Saxon Culture, University of Manchester. She
has a special interest in dress throughout the medieval period -
she advises on dress entries to the Toronto Old English Dictionary
and has consulted for many museums and television companies.
The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing
from a range of disciplines. The studies collected here range
through art, artifacts, documentary text, and poetry, addressing
both real and symbolic functions of dress and textiles. John Block
Friedman breaks new ground with his article on clothing for pets
and other animals, while Grzegorz Pac compares depictions of sacred
and royal female dress and evaluates attempts to link them
together. Jonathan C. Cooper describes the clothing of scholars in
Scotland's three pre-Reformation universities and the effects of
the Reformation upon it. Camilla Luise Dahl examines references to
women's garments in probates and what they reveal about early
modern fashions. Megan Cavell focuses on the treatment of textiles
associated with the Holy of Holies in Old English biblical poetry.
Frances Pritchard examines the iconography, heraldry, and
inscriptions on a worn and repaired set of embroidered
fifteenth-century orphreys to determine their origin.Finally,
Thomas M. Izbicki summarizes evidence for the choice of white linen
for the altar and the responsibilities of priests for keeping it
clean and in good repair.
The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing
from a range of disciplines. Following the Journal's tradition of
drawing on a range of disciplines, the essays here also extend
chronologically from the tenth through the sixteenth century and
cover a wide geography: from Scandinavia to Spain, with stops in
England and the Low Countries. They include an examination of the
lexical items for banners in Beowulf, evidence of the use of curved
template for the composition in the Bayeux Tapestry, a discussion
of medieval cultivation of hemp for use in textiles in Sweden, a
reading of the character of Lady Mede (Piers Plowman) in the
context of costume history, the historical context of the Spanish
verdugados (in English, the farthingale)and its use as political
propaganda, an analysis of the sartorial imagery on a tabletop
painting (attributed to Bosch) depicting the Seven Deadly Sins, and
the reconstruction of one of the sixteenth-century London Livery
companies' crowns.
The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing
from a range of disciplines. The fifth volume of this annual series
features several articles examining the interaction of medieval
romance with textiles and clothing. French Gothic ivory carvings
illustrating courtly romances reveal details of fashionable dress;
the distinct languages of narrative poetry and Parisian tax records
offer contrasting views of medieval embroiderers; and scenes from
the Tristan legend provide clues to the original form of the
earliest surviving decorativequilt. Other papers look at
ecclesiastical attempts to restrict extravagance in secular women's
dress, the use of clothing references to signal impending conflict
in Icelandic sagas, the development and possible construction of
the Tudor-era court headdress called the French hood, and the way
Cesare Vecellio drew on both existing artwork and the Venetian
image to present historical dress in his sixteenth-century treatise
on costume. Also included are reviews of recent books on clothing
and textiles. ROBIN NETHERTON is a professional editor and a
researcher/lecturer on the interpretation of medieval European
dress; GALE R. OWEN-CROCKER is Professor of Anglo-Saxon Culture

Pan-European research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing
from a range of disciplines. This volume continues the series'
tradition of bringing together work on clothing and textiles from
across Europe. It has a strong focus on gold: subjects include
sixth-century German burials containing sumptuous jewellery and
bands brocaded with gold; the textual evidence for recycling such
gold borders and bands in the later Anglo-Saxon period; and a
semantic classification of words relating to gold in multi-lingual
medieval Britain. It also rescues significant archaeological
textiles from obscurity: there is a discussion of early medieval
headdresses from The Netherlands, and an examination of a
fifteenth-century Italian cushion, an early example of piecework.
Finally, uses of dress and textiles in literature are explored in a
survey of the Welsh Mabinogion and Jean Renart's Roman de la Rose.

The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing
from a range of disciplines. This year's volume focuses largely on
the British Isles, with papers on dress terms in the Middle English
Pearl; a study of a thirteenth-century royal bride's trousseau,
based on unpublished documents concerning King HenryIII's Wardrobe;
an investigation into the "open surcoat" referenced in the
multilingual texts of late medieval England; and, based on customs
accounts, a survey of cloth exports from late medieval London and
the merchants who profited from them. Commercial trading of cloth
is also the subject of a study of fifteenth-century brokers' books,
revealing details of types, designs, and regulation of the famous
silks from Lucca, Italy. Another paper focuseson art, reconsidering
the incidence of frilled veils in the Low Countries and adopting an
innovative means of analysis to question the chronology,
geographical diversity, and social context of this style. Robin

The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing
from a range of disciplines. The usual wide range of approaches to
garments and fabrics appears in this tenth volume. Three chapters
focus on practical matters: a description of the medieval vestments
surviving at Castel Sant'Elia in Italy; a survey of the spread of
silk cultivation to Europe before 1300; and a documentation of
medieval colour terminology for desirable cloth. Two address social
significance: the practice of seizing clothing from debtors in
fourteenth-century Lucca, and the transformation of the wardrobe of
Margaret Tudor, daughter of King Henry VII, upon her marriage to
the king of Scotland. Two delve into artistic symbolism: a
consideration of female headdresses carved at St Frideswide's
Priory in Oxford, and a discussion of how Anglo-Saxon artists used
soft furnishings to echo emotional aspects of narratives.
Meanwhile, in an exercise in historiography, there is an
examination of the life of Mrs. A.G.I. Christie, author of the
landmark Medieval English Embroidery. ROBIN NETHERTON is a
professional editor and a researcher/lecturer on the interpretation
of medieval European dress; GALE R. OWEN-CROCKER is Professor of

A wide-ranging and varied collection of essays which examine
surviving garments, methods of production and clothes in society.
The second decade of this acclaimed and popular series begins with
a volume that will be essential reading for historians and
re-enactors alike. Two papers consider cloth manufacture in the
early medieval period: Ingvild Øye examines the graves of
prosperous Viking Age women from Western Norway which contained
both textile-making tools and the remains of cloth, considering the
relationship between the two. Karen Nicholson compliments this with
practical experiments in spinning. This is followed by Tina
Anderlini's close examination of the details of cut and
construction of a thirteenth-century chemise attributed to King
Louis IX of France (St Louis), out of its shrine for the firsttime
since 1970. Three papers consider fashionable clothing and
morality: Sarah-Grace Heller discusses sumptuary legislation from
Angevin Sicily in the 1290s which sought to restrict men's dress at
a time when preparation for war was more important than showy
clothes; Cordelia Warr examines the dire consequences of a woman
dressing extravagantly as portrayed in a fourteenth-century Italian
fresco; and Emily Rozier discusses the extremes of dress attributed
by moral and satirical writers to the men known as "galaunts". Two
textual studies then show the importance of textiles in daily life.
Susan Powell reveals the austere but magnificent purchases made on
behalf of Lady Margaret Beaufort, mother of King Henry VII, in the
last ten years of her life (1498-1509); Anna Riehl Bertolet
discusses in detail the passage in Shakespeare's A Midsummer
Night's Dream where Helena passionately recalls sewinga sampler
with Hermia when they were young and still bosom friends.

Journal's tradition of drawing on a range of disciplines. Topics
include evidence for dress in multicultural sixth-century Ravenna;
the incidence of Byzantine and Oriental silks in ninth-
tothirteenth-century Denmark; a new analysis of the chronology of
and contexts for the French hood; an examination of the mysterious
garment called a bliaut in French literature; a discussion of the
vocabulary and loan wordsin Italian/Anglo-Norman mercantile
transactions; and revelations that fashions in body hair were an
important feature of women's appearance. Contributors: John Block

The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing
from a range of disciplines. Three of the essays in this collection
focus on Italy, with contributions on footwear in Lucca based on
documentary evidence of the fourteenth century; aristocratic
furnishings as described in a royal letter of the fifteenth
century, along with its first translation into English; and
Boccaccio's treatment of disguise involving Christian/Islamic
identity shifts in his Decameron. The Bayeux Tapestry is discussed
as a narrative artwork that adopts various costumes for semiotic
purposes. Another chapter considers surviving artefacts: a detailed
study of a piece of quilted fabric armour, one of two such items
surviving in Lubeck, Germany, reveals how it was made and suggests
reasons for some of the unusual features. The volume also includes
an investigation of the commercial vocabulary related to the
medieval textile and fur industries: the terms used in Britain for
measuring textile and fur are listed and discussed, especially the
unique use of Anglo-French "launces" in a document of 1300.
