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.
