📣 Attention #Histodons: Free access to "Medieval Textiles across Eurasia, c. 300–1400" (Cambridge Elements) by Patricia Blessing, Elizabeth Dospěl Williams and Eiren L. Shea, until May 23rd!
"This study considers the textiles made, traded, and exchanged across Eurasia from late antiquity to the late Middle Ages with special attention to the socio-political and cultural aspects of this universal medium. It presents a wide range of textiles used in both domestic and religious settings, as dress and furnishings, and for elite and ordinary owners."
