Speaking of interesting books--- Does anyone know if Eleonora of Toledo's Book of Hours, which is in the V&A, has ever been published? If so, do you have the ISBN number?

Wouldnt it be cool to Wiki a never-before annotated inventory? Even tho most of us are just amateurs & fashion fans, I'm sure we'd have some interesting things to say on so many topics. While none of us could complete the task, we'd make a nice start. The only annotate French inventory that I know of, and have skimmed bits of, is the accounts of the Dukes of Lorraine. It's not the wardrobe accts, but the accts of the entire estate, but, fashionwise, it does include everything from fabric buys to livery gifts. --cin Cynthia Barnes [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
