The best new research on medieval clothing and textiles, drawing from a range of disciplines.The essays here continue in the Journal's tradition of drawing on a range of disciplines. Topics include evidence for dress in multicultural sixth-century Ravenna, the incidence of Byzantine and Oriental silks in ninth- tothirteenth-century Denmark, a new analysis of the chronology of and contexts for the French hood, an examination of the mysterious garment called a bliaut in French literature, a discussion of the vocabulary and loan wordsin Italian/Anglo-Norman mercantile transactions, and revelations that fashions in body hair were an important feature of women's appearance.
