The work documents many fashions and arms ranging from
simple tunics and robes to battle equipment and arms, and fur-lined
cloaks and brocaded garments of the aristocracy. 2000: 456 pages, 9
3/8" x 12 1/4", softcover. (Dover)

I have the old hardback of this book.
This is a classic, and if it's colored like mine it's an
incredible bargain. All kinds of stuff including horse gear,
wagons, weapons and other things gathered from a wide range
of illuminations, sculptures, surviving items, and paintings.
I think the original was Hungarian and before this reprint it
was a very expensive book to come by. This is something that
those of you interested in Central and Eastern European
culture in particular, and material culture of all sorts
should seriously consider buying. It's a heck of a bargain.
