insights to this edition.
*ENGLISH HISTORICAL REVIEW*
This new version is doubly welcome, both as a largely intact
reappearance of a valued text and a very substantial and deftly
added text of totally new material.. Justif[ies] totally the term
`encyclopaedic'... This most valuable up-dating is long likely to
be an invaluable tool for historians of Medieval costume and
[those] who have practical interests related to it.
*MEDIEVAL DRESS & TEXTILE SOCIETY NEWSLETTER*
A well-documented and clearly organized source for all aspects of
medieval clothing. [...]a perfect companion for both the serious
scholar of period dress and...enthusiasts who desire to wear
historically authentic garments.
*RENAISSANCE MAGAZINE [US].*
Splendid...the major overview of Anglo-Saxon clothing and textile
from the 5th to 11th centuries. [...] Owen-Crocker has become the
authority reconstructors call upon... A wise and scholarly book.
