From the costly velvets and furs worn by kings to the undyed wools and rough linens of the peasantry, the clothing worn by the various classes in the Middle Ages played an integral role in medieval society. This volume provides a detailed look at both the actual fabrics and composition of medieval clothing as well as the period's attitude toward fashion through an exploration of illuminated manuscripts in the collection of the J. In addition to providing clues to status, profession, and/or geographic origin, textiles were a crucial element in the economies of many countries and cities.Much of what is known about medieval fashion is gleaned from the pages of manuscripts, which serve as a rich source of imagery.
The last portion of the book is dedicated to the depiction of clothing in biblical times and the ancient world as seen through a medieval lens. Paul Getty Museum.
