Re: [h-cost] History of the Parasol
Thank you for putting this together. I was aware of the Max Von Bohen source, but not of some of the others. There are so many silly truths being strutted about.it is a good lesson for newbies...do your own research. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
[h-cost] History of the Parasol
Hi all, I've recently written an article on the history of the parasol through the 16th and early 17th centuries. Over the last 4 or 5 years, reenactors and faire people have repeatedly told me parasols arent period. I've had the evidence to support their use for at least as long, but I finally decided to make a formal article about it. Although I am selling items elsewhere on this site, my goal with this article wasn't to sell more, but to provide reenactors with the evidence to dispel this particular myth. So, I invite anyone interested to have a look. You may check out the article at http://www.margaretroedesigns.com/parasolhist.html. I will be forwarding this article to several lists during the next few days, so I apologize if you receive this several times. I hope you all enjoy, Margaret Roe __ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam?

Re: [h-cost] History of the Parasol
Fascinating article, Margaret! Your parasols look great. One minor point; Sir Henry Unton would be referred to as Sir Henry, not Sir Unton. ( Sir is never used with the family name alone. I suppose knighthood existed before surnames were established.)

Re: [h-cost] History of the Parasol
REALLY interesting article! Two little nits--when you mention parare, to shield in the etymology of parasol, you should also mention sol, sun. And please, in possessive form of it, NO apostrophe. --Ruth Anne Baumgartner scholar gypsy (English) and amateur costumer -Original Message- From: mlysett [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Jan 31, 2006 10:27 PM To: h-costume@mail.indra.com Subject: [h-cost] History of the Parasol Hi all, I've recently written an article on the history of the parasol through the 16th and early 17th centuries.
