VERLAGSTEXT: / / During the medieval period, people invested heavily in looking good. The finest fashions demanded careful chemistry and compounds imported from great distances and at considerable risk to merchants; the Church became a major customer of both the richest and humblest varieties of cloth, shoes and adornment; and vernacular poets began to embroider their stories with hundreds of verses describing a plethora of dress styles, fabrics and shopping experiences. Drawing on a wealth of pictorial, textual and object sources, the volume examines how dress cultures developed ¿ often to a degree of dazzling sophistication ¿ between the years AD 800 to AD 1450. / / AUS DEM INHALT: / / List of illustrations ix / Sarah-Grace Heller:Introduction 1 / / 1.
