Finally, a detailed, precise, modern work on medieval dress of the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries (1320-1480). Taking cues from the works of Viollet-le-Duc and Adrien Harmand, the first part is devoted to jewels and accessories, the second to male dress, and the third to female dress. Rich, colour photographs with multiple reenactors allow a true understanding of medieval costume. A work of reference.
