-----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Robin Netherton Sent: Thursday, October 27, 2005 5:52 PM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] MCT vol. 2, progress report Today I hold in my hands the page proofs of Medieval Clothing & Textiles, volume 2! For those who are interested, the contents of vol. 2 are listed here: http://www.boydell.co.uk/43832038.HTM There are eight papers, covering (as always) a range of periods, places, and disciplines. Costumers will want to take a close look especially if you have interests in any of these topics: -- Early Irish dress -- although the paper focuses on a particular literary description, it has extensive discussion of archaeological finds and artworks, and the footnotes provide a pretty good summary of the state of research in this area -- 13th/14th century French cloth trade, terms, and availability -- 15th/16th century textile cleaning methods (by h-coster Drea Leed) -- Renaissance "flea furs" -- this highly comprehensive study is loaded with primary citations, and will stand as THE definitive piece of research on this subject -- Elizabethan/Jacobean embroidered jackets (by h-coster Danielle Nunn-Weinberg) There's more, too. You can pre-order at the Boydell site (URL above), or through Amazon (sizable discount at the moment). Papers for Volume 3 are rolling in; we have some really good names and topics, but I can't tell you what yet! --Robin (feel free to forward this message in its entirety) ========================================================== Robin Netherton Editor, Medieval Clothing and Textiles [EMAIL PROTECTED] _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
