RE: [h-cost] Paternoster beads: medieval dress accessory
I get CA and I found it useful informative, thanks so much! Ceit -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Chris Laning Sent: Monday, October 15, 2007 12:19 AM To: Historical Costume Subject: [h-cost] Paternoster beads: medieval dress accessory For anyone interested who hasn't already heard about it, my booklet Bedes Byddyng: Medieval Rosaries and Paternoster Beads has been published (finally!) as issue #135 of the Compleat Anachronist (an SCA quarterly). It's available at $4.50 per copy at: https:// secure.sca.org/cgi-bin/stockclerk/ca.html (Go to page 14 of the site and scroll down) This is a short introduction to the history of rosary beads (mostly Christian ones), along with a look at the social history: what materials were used for beads, threads and accessories; numbers and significance of beads; how rosaries were made, sold, worn, and used; and a few pointers on how to tell whether a string of beads is a rosary or not. There is also an appendix with full instructions on making a rather generic set of medieval-style beads. It was stressful to write, but satisfying. I hadn't seen it since I turned in the manuscript six months ago, and I am now grimacing over the usual quota of typos, formatting mistakes and bits of authorial disorganization that made it into the printed version. I'll do better next time: but I'm happy to have it to offer. I'd be interested in anyone's comments (on or off list) once you've read it.
