Byzantine Dress : Representations of Secular Dress PDF
by J. Ball
Part of the The New Middle Ages series
Description
In Byzantium there were two overlapping systems of dress: a semiotic one whereby dress was a code for rank and wealth, and a fashion system where dress was based on the desire to look a certain way.
This book explains secular dress from the eighth to the twelfth centuries through an examination of painted representations.
