Publisher's Synopsis
An extraordinary work on the uses of clothing in the Middle Ages.
Exceptional iconography. 760 engravings, mostly by Viollet-Le-Duc.
This exceptional book, which follows on from the Dictionnaire des armes offensives et défensives (Dictionary of offensive and defensive weapons) that we published previously, takes a long look at the medieval texts and provides unprecedented information on the way of life, the habits, but also the difficulties of living at that time, thus giving the work a major historical dimension.
