[h-cost] MCT4 (was: Scandinavian archaeological textiles)
Someone asked me about the editing on Scandinavian archaeological textiles I'm in the middle of, and it occurred to me you all might like a sneak peek of the tentative contents of Vol. 4 (2008) of Medieval Clothing and Textiles. Flax/linen production in medieval Russia References to scarlet clothing in Norse sagas The connection between Italian and Anglo-Saxon terms for wimple Linguistic background of coif/cuff Analysis of an extant 14th c. coif A visual classification method for archaeological textiles The Greenland gown and mainland European fashion Women's turbans in 15th c. French illuminations Henry VIII's quilts So, the usual range of disciplines (art, literature, archaeology, language, history, fashion study), periods (Anglo-Saxon to Tudor), and places (Russia, Scandinavia, France, England, Italy). We've also noticed that each volume seems to develop clusters in certain topics; this seems to be the one for Scandinavia, archaeology, and headgear. (Yes, the Greenland gown paper is mine, the long-promised publication based on my lecture on this topic, which some of you have heard. Even now I wish I could do more on it, but I just don't have time to read all the books I want to read...) Of course this all assumes I don't go mad. I'm in the midst of copyediting footnotes in at least eight languages, written by people whose native languages are (respectively) Italian, Finnish, Danish, Norwegian, and Swedish as well as English. A little much for someone with only French, though it's odd to realize I'm understanding more and more of the Danish and Norwegian at first glance. --Robin ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume

Yes, might as well drum up some interest -- but remember the list I just posted is for the volume slated for release in May 2008. Some people may not yet have looked over our brand-new 2007 volume, so you would do me a favor if you included info on that, too. It has papers on these topics: Anglo-Saxon household textiles Anglo-Saxon clerical vestments Saints in Opus Anglicanum embroidery on vestments Color preferences in Flemish luxury woollens Wool finishing Symbolism of rich garments in a Spanish religious story Fingerloop braiding Medieval textile bookmarkers Children's clothes in Tudor England ...that last one written by h-cost's very own Melanie Schuessler. You'll find the contents of Volume 3 listed in more detail here: http://www.boydell.co.uk/43832917.HTM And the entire series here: http://www.boydell.co.uk/MEDSES.HTM Since you'll be posting to SCA lists, you might want to note that each of these volumes includes some authors who are SCA members who have made the leap to academic publishing, and that each volume includes at least one article that reflects the use of reconstruction as a research tool. --Robin == Robin Netherton Editor, Medieval Clothing and Textiles [EMAIL PROTECTED] voice: (314) 439-1222 // fax: (314) 439-1666 Life is just a bowl of queries. ___ h-costume mailing list h-costume@mail.indra.com http://mail.indra.com/mailman/listinfo/h-costume
