[h-cost] More Moda a Firenze
Looks like there was a lot of interest in this reprint. I just had an update on my order with Michael Shamansky Booksellers (contact info below). They are offering free shipping on Moda a Firenze (anywhere in the USA) thru March 31, 2007. Their price is $90 and they are expecting within the next 1-2 weeks. I think he said they are getting theirs via airfreight. I could kick myself for not getting this when it first came out, the reprint was great news, but that is not making the wait any easier :).

RE: [h-cost] Our Country's Good - songs & music for Anna
Dear Anna, whether or not this will be of any use to you, I don't know. However, a few year's back, the noted English Folk Singer and Song Writer Peter Bellamy wrote a highly- praised Folk Opera "The Transports" which contained 18 songs in traditional "folksong style" of the Times; - about the very first voyage to set up the Penal Colony in Botany Bay. Particularly, it has been much-performed and much-praised in Australia,as one might expect. The music & songs of this Folk Opera might be of interest to your Producer/Director. There is are several CD's, if you are interested. Topic Records TSCD 459 (CD, UK, 1992) is the version I have, but another CD Company produced a 25rg Anniversary Boxed set in 2004.

This is my first time posting anything to the list, though I've been lurking quite a while.

Greetings Sir Matthew I didn't know that in addition to your prowess at arms and woodworking you were also a songsmith. Perhaps you would be willing to grace our Summer Tourney with a song or two? Also, I'm hoping to start learning some medieval music and would really appreciate any assistance you might give. I've recently joined the Yahoo group for SCA bards - are you a member of that?

The pictures can be photos of real finds: garments, statues, painings, or simly re-drawn pictures. The period that interests me is 14th century, but other periods would be quite nice as well.

Some of these are art books called "manuscript facsimiles," which are page-by-page reproductions of full manuscripts. Others are art books about manuscript painting. Many are very expensive -- I know of two brilliant reproductions of the Manesse that are too expensive for my budget, but are in many libraries. (And it's online, too.) To get a good sense of what's out there, go to your nearest major library or university library and look in the *oversize* section under the subject heading of manuscript illumination or manuscript paintings. You'll find titles like "Manuscript Painting in the Court of France"; once you've found one, you'll find a shelf full. If you can tell us exactly what time and place you're interested in, we can probably point you to specific titles. I have about two bookshelves of manuscript facsimiles and collections of manuscript art that's mostly 14th and 15th c. English-French-Flemish, so you can see why I don't want to start listing here. But perhaps someone who already has their collection on Librarything would be willing to point Zuzana to a list of suitable books?

Is that what this magazine is mostly about, or not? Not. Or not exactly. It's about various sorts of "creative" things one can do with clothing, but original vintage clothing rarely enters into the process. You _might_ find some of what you're looking for in it -- it's not my area of interest, so I may miss things that would interest you. But on the whole, "creative" tends to win out over "nostalgic" in the project department. Sometimes projects are deliberately "aged" to look old -- but history has little to do with the process, other than as inspiration. The issue currently in my bathroom has articles on poly-clay jewelry, covered matchbox "purses" that look vaguely Japanese, crocheted hats embellished with all sorts of sparkly stuff, and I forget what else. Other issues have had articles on painting T-shirts, a covered-shoe challenge (not necessarily practical but more along the "embellish creatively" line), and various dyed, painted, pieced, pleated and otherwise embellished garments. >Also, how much do the projects depend on the use of rubber stamps, as >the publisher seems to focus a lot on those in their other magazines?

If you want a book, rather than a web site, go to Amazon DE. If you scroll down to the very bottom of the search page on the U.S. edition of Amazon, you will see a link for Amazon in Germany. Go there and put Manesse Codex in the search field. The one that pops up first is Codex Manesse. Die Miniaturen der Großen Heidelberger Liederhandschrift , which seems to have all the miniatures (if I am deciphering the German correctly) and costs 29 euros. Shipping of course will be expensive.

Re: [h-cost] Belle Armoire
Fran, Pretty much what Chris said. Belle Armoire is modern art-to-wear garments, bags, jewelry, hats, etc. While they may discuss a vintage garment, it will be in relation to how a designer has updated it for their modern art pieces. And rubber stamps usually are used at least once per magazine, more or less. This is why I no longer buy it, and am looking at Piecework magazine instead.

Paintings as well as manuscripts. My very favorite manuscript for secular clothing of this period -- 200 images, all with realistic people, most secular, various classes -- is a coffee-table facsimile of a c. 1430-1440 Flemish ms of Bocaccio's Decameron, ed. Edmond Pognon, various editions/languages, 1978. I see 30 copies at abebooks right now, ranging from $6 to $40. There are other wonderful facsimiles from this period, but this will get you the most bang for the buck in terms of quantity of images for a low sum. That was part of a lovely little series of "Illuminated Manuscripts"; I got several for a song when they were remaindered in about 1979, including the "Tres Riches Heures," an Italian "Divine Comedy," and a splendid "Tristan and Isolde." (I skipped an Egyptian Book of the Dead and something Mayan.) > I am trying to focus primarily on houpelands (sp?). I am also trying > to (dis)prove a theory that 'bagpipe' sleeves were only worn by men, > not women. Not sure what you mean by bagpipe sleeves, but bag sleeves were plenty common on women. Look in Margaret Scott's Visual History of Costume: The 14th and 15th Centuries and you'll see English brasses and effigies with bag sleeves. And there's a nice bag sleeve in Hecyra, an image reprinted in Marcel Thomas's "The Golden Age" (a nice overview of manuscript paintings, one of several published by Braziller in, hmm, probably the 1970s). That one is online somewhere; I can't find the nice big version, but I see a small version of it here: http://www.umilta.net/terencechaucer.html First image on that page -- bag sleeves with fringe/dags down the outer seam, yum. > (like on one of the Magi in 'Adoration of the Magi' by Domenico > Veneziano c1435.. - sorry can't find Url at this moment) If you mean the magi who has a bag sleeve with a slit in the top, so he can put his arm out the slit or his hand out the cuff ... not sure if I've ever seen that particular variation on a woman but I wouldn't rule it out. --Robin ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
