Pardon the repetition for those who have heard this before... They're talking about "Medieval Clothing & Textiles," the journal I edit with Gale Owen-Crocker. The journal is an annual hardback, published every April. The contents of vols. 1 and 2 are here: http://www.boydell.co.uk/43831236.HTM http://www.boydell.co.uk/43832038.HTM As I noted earlier, my publisher told me last week that Vol. 1 is nearly sold out; we're talking about the possibility of a reprint, which I sincerely hope will happen, but I can't make promises. I'd like to note that two of the papers in the just-released Vol. 2 were written by sometime members of this list: one by Drea Leed on 15th and 16th c. garment cleaning methods, and one by Danielle Nunn-Weinberg on Elizabethan women's embroidered jackets. Members of this list may also be especially interested in the pieces on early Irish dress (the footnotes to that one serve as a rundown of virtually everything that's out there on this topic) and Italian Renaissance "flea furs" (which includes a list of more than 70 documentary references to these remarkable items). There are other articles that will be useful to people working in various specialties; we try to cover a broad range of periods and disciplines in every volume. Feel free to forward this note around to other lists if you think their readers will be interested in these books (but please copy me in when you do). --Robin ========================================================== Robin Netherton Editor, Medieval Clothing and Textiles [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice: (314) 439-1222 // fax: (314) 439-1333 Life is just a bowl of queries. _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
