Thank you. The neighboring SCA group is doing an event based loosely on the manuscript "Le Livre de Chasse" by Gaston Phoebus I found a few posted pictures from the manuscript but they have only men in them (no surprise there) and though I might make some men's clothes for the day, I would like something feminine for the evening. Presently I only have norse garb. :) Thank you again. De
-----Original Message----- Your best artwork from this period for costume research purposes is in manuscripts, so you need the Bibliotheque Nationale de France. Here's a list of the medieval mss online so far: http://gallica.bnf.fr/themes/ImaMA2.htm Finding your way through the listings of mss is difficult unless you know what you're looking for; you'll have to browse and check the dates as you go. A lot of the ones I have bookmarked for myself are 15th c. and probably a bit too late for you, but I would suggest you look at the Grandes Chroniques de France (MS Fr. 73), which is around 1400. The BNF hasn't webbed a lot of my favorites yet, but each time I look there's something new up there. I'm more familiar with books than websites. If you want hardcopy references, e-mail me directly. --Robin _______________________________________________ h-costume mailing list [email protected] http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
