Katherine Barich, who many of you probably know from other the Ren Tailor and German Ren lists, has found a very interesting find! She has given me permission to repost this message.

I found the citation listed in "Glossaire Archeologique du Moyen Age et de la Renaissance" by Victor Gay. Vecellio lists the term in his description of the noble women of Paris. I've translated for us, but still am learning Italian. I continue to work on finding more information on the oreillette and have had some success, but will wait until I firm up my ideas a bit more. Here's the quote from page 82 (note the one t) "Atifet - Cette coiffure sévère, portée par la veuve de Henri II et les dames nobles de Paris jusqu'a la fin du XVIe siècle, rehaussait par deux petites arcades les cotés du front et couvrait la chevelure d'un voile retombant sur les épaules. 1590 - Le nobili matrone di Parigi non si lasciano veder il viso ... la lor acconciatura di testa e chiamata l'atifetto, il quale fa due archi dall parte de fronte, coperto di un veletto attaccato con una punta sopra i capelli del fronte, e poi cade sopra le spalle, e sotto di esso veletto si vedon i capelli ricci ben accommodati (Vecellio, t. II, p 238, edit. Didot.) [Atifet - This severe coiffure, worn by the widow of Henri II and the noble ladies of Paris around the end of the 16th century, elevated by two small arcs on either sids of the front and covering the hair with a veil falling to the shoulders.] [The noble matrons of Paris do not let their faces be seen...they arrange a style on the head and call it the atifetto, which has two archs on either side of the front, covered with a small veil attached to a point above the hair in the front, and then falls to above the shoulders, and beneath the small veil their curly hair is quite accommodated.] Katherine __._,_.___ Messages <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheRenaissanceTailor/message/3297;_ylc=X3oDMT M0c2V2MzZkBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI1ODU1NjIEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1NzY3NTAzBG1zZ0 lkAzMyOTkEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDdnRwYwRzdGltZQMxMTc1NDM3MzI4BHRwY0lkAzMyOTc-> in this topic (0) <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheRenaissanceTailor/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJwc2Fsc2 Y2BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI1ODU1NjIEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1NzY3NTAzBG1zZ0lkAzMyOT kEc2VjA2Z0cgRzbGsDcnBseQRzdGltZQMxMTc1NDM3MzI4?act=reply&messageNum=3299> Reply (via web post) | Start <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheRenaissanceTailor/post;_ylc=X3oDMTJlNTkwNG I1BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI1ODU1NjIEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1NzY3NTAzBHNlYwNmdHIEc2 xrA250cGMEc3RpbWUDMTE3NTQzNzMyOA--> a new topic Messages <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheRenaissanceTailor/messages;_ylc=X3oDMTJlY2 F1cW5vBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI1ODU1NjIEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1NzY3NTAzBHNlYwNmdH IEc2xrA21zZ3MEc3RpbWUDMTE3NTQzNzMyOA--> | Files <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheRenaissanceTailor/files;_ylc=X3oDMTJmNW5hN WtoBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI1ODU1NjIEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1NzY3NTAzBHNlYwNmdHIEc 2xrA2ZpbGVzBHN0aW1lAzExNzU0MzczMjg-> | Photos <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheRenaissanceTailor/photos;_ylc=X3oDMTJlam8x dmVhBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI1ODU1NjIEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1NzY3NTAzBHNlYwNmdHIE c2xrA3Bob3QEc3RpbWUDMTE3NTQzNzMyOA--> | Links <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheRenaissanceTailor/links;_ylc=X3oDMTJmYnR2d nJ2BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI1ODU1NjIEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1NzY3NTAzBHNlYwNmdHIEc 2xrA2xpbmtzBHN0aW1lAzExNzU0MzczMjg-> | Database <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheRenaissanceTailor/database;_ylc=X3oDMTJjcD ZtOWRzBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI1ODU1NjIEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1NzY3NTAzBHNlYwNmdH IEc2xrA2RiBHN0aW1lAzExNzU0MzczMjg-> | Polls <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheRenaissanceTailor/polls;_ylc=X3oDMTJmaWVqN DA0BF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI1ODU1NjIEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1NzY3NTAzBHNlYwNmdHIEc 2xrA3BvbGxzBHN0aW1lAzExNzU0MzczMjg-> | Members <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheRenaissanceTailor/members;_ylc=X3oDMTJlaG4 5cHVkBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI1ODU1NjIEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1NzY3NTAzBHNlYwNmdHI Ec2xrA21icnMEc3RpbWUDMTE3NTQzNzMyOA--> | Calendar <http://groups.yahoo.com/group/TheRenaissanceTailor/calendar;_ylc=X3oDMTJkcm dkN2dxBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI1ODU1NjIEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1NzY3NTAzBHNlYwNmdH IEc2xrA2NhbARzdGltZQMxMTc1NDM3MzI4> This egroup is based on the website http://www.vertetsable.com - more commonly known as The Renaissance Tailor; Recreating 16th and 17th Century Clothing. <http://groups.yahoo.com/;_ylc=X3oDMTJkajRyZmNnBF9TAzk3MzU5NzE0BGdycElkAzI1O DU1NjIEZ3Jwc3BJZAMxNzA1NzY3NTAzBHNlYwNmdHIEc2xrA2dmcARzdGltZQMxMTc1NDM3MzI4> Yahoo!
