The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing from a range of disciplines.
The essays collected here continue to showcase the
Journal’s wide-ranging and eclectic tradition. The topics addressed are the sensory perceptions of textiles in Early Medieval Britain; evidence of the global textile trade as reflected in church facades in Lucca, Italy; the ways in which spinning and weaving in late medieval Cologne influenced the presentation of the cult of the Eleven Thousand Virgins within the city; sumptuary legislation in thirteenth-century Montauban, in the Occitan region of Southern France; visual representations of male underwear in northern European art; and the late sixteenth- and early seventeenth-century trade in knitted jersey stockings in Norwich and Yarmouth.
