Introduction to clothing in 14 - 18th centuries
Texts here deal mainly with western
European clothing (England and France). They are based on Norris: Costume and
Fashion, vol.2 Senlac to Bosworth, 1066-1485; 1927 and Viollet le Duc:
Encyclopedie medievale; 1870 so it is possible that we will use some
terms differently. We understand, that these books are old but still
excellent for basic orientation. Besides costume terminology is a
problem, because meaning of terms was changed during centuries and
therefore is more important correction with pictorial materials.
Excuse us, we still hope to find
better interpreter than us to translate pages.
