medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture Greetings this wintery day. I am a reenactor who reads this list. I rarely contribute and apologise for coming to you with aid. Please do not feel constrained to post a reply. I would like to research more fully than I have been able to find information about Irish female monastic habits/clothing. I know there is precious little that we can find. I know there are not actual archaeological sources and precious little in the way of depictions from the period for any clothing whatsoever but have you, in your readings, noticed a source in written work? I find myself defaulting to “Dress in Anglo-Saxon England” as a nearby culture. Surely I am missing a better resource. Have you any suggestions? I have not found anything useful in the writings of the Venerable Bede or St. Patrick. To tell the truth, I hadn’t expected any but I had to try as those were sources I have handily. Thank you, Terri Morgan, armchair student of history ********************************************************************** To join the list, send the message: subscribe medieval-religion YOUR NAME to: [log in to unmask] To send a message to the list, address it to: [log in to unmask] To leave the list, send the message: unsubscribe medieval-religion to: [log in to unmask] In order to report problems or to contact the list's owners, write to: [log in to unmask] For further information, visit our web site: http://www.jiscmail.ac.uk/medieval-religion
