Oxbow books, the quarterly temptation

...catalogue came this week!

I was thinking of zmiya_san when I saw the titles

• Ancient Textiles, Modern Science


• Textile Production and Consumption in the Ancient Near East


• Tools Textiles and Context: Textile Production in the Aegean and Eastern Mediterranean Bronze Age


• Ancient Textiles: Production Crafts and Society

For myself, or other scribes:

• The tres riches heures of Jean duc de Berry (£25, down from £65)


• Choirs of Angels: painting in Italian Choir books 1300-1500 (not quite my thing but some people swing that way)


• Italian paintings, 1250-1500 (£19.95, was £74)


• Women Manuscripts and Identity in Northern Europe 1350-1550 (also pricey but sounds fascinating)

And just cause:

Medieval Hunting, on sale

Rites of Passage: Cultures of Transition (ceremonies! with heralds and stuff! whoo-hoo!), also on sale

Conspectus of Scribal Hands Writing Hands 960-1100 (pricey pretty specialist! but I'm so glad someone cares enough to study it)
