Article about Erik Klipping textiles, Denmark, 1286 AD
*grins* No, I am not coming over to the dark side.
This just came out on the Yahoo MEDTC Discussion group and I thought I would forward it on via e-mail and then I realized that there's too many of you who would be into this. By the way, if you're into medieval and early modern clothing, dress accessories, and textiles (including tools and processes) that's an excellent group to join to keep up with current publications.
Here's the post. Feel free to share. Enjoy!
In 1286 AD the Danish king Erik Klipping was murdered. He was buried in Viborg Cathedral and some bits of textile has survived. Have uploaded a pdf-file and an english translation to: http://www.tabletweaving.dk/?Publications Look at the second last article.
The article was written in Danish in Viborg Stiftsmuseums yearbook. I have made a translation (language corrections are wellcome!) and I have now got the museums permission to opload the article. Hope You like it.
