Quoting [EMAIL PROTECTED]:
FYI, there is a Italian (I think) style (a bit earlier then the time
of the Tres Riche Hours) that has what looks like circles attached
to/acting as the cuffs of the gothic fitted dress's sleeves. There is
a picture in _Parades et Parures_ by Odile Blanc. (it's the front
piece. For those of you who read French [not me] the description is:
1. La seduction detournant de l'etude. Alors que le corps feminin
reste enclos dans une veture continue et monochrome, la parure
masculine rend le corps a une diversite des formes et des couleurs.
(I had to drop all the accents - I hope it's still decipherable)
Elsewhere in the book it attributes the picture to Boccace, "Des
clereset nobles femmes". Page 59, 125, 173, 185 and 217 all show
other pictures from the same manuscript (all of which give different
views of the bell-cuffs. The last one shows a gothic fitted dress
with the cuffs, without the houpelande). Page 193 also gives a
picture of a long bell-cuff from a different manuscript, the "Bible
historiale", no author given.
*cool* Are any of these images online anywhere?
Thanks!

It is my believe that this is a separate style from the "angle-wing"
under sleeves you see in Tres Riche.

P.S. 2: I can't seem to find a link to an illumination of Boccaccio,
"Concerning Famous Women" on line (which is what I'm guessing the
translation of "Des clereset nobles femmes" is)
I know that there's *some* Boccaccio on a BNF site, but I don't speak
french, so I have *no* clue as to how to go about finding them.
*sigh*
