| Abstract | The first paper examines Rastall's drapery statutes, which document the regulations for English woollen cloth from the Magna Carta to 1588. The second examines the Venetian-Aragonese/Catalan silk cloth called 'zambelotti', which was bartered for enormous value in the 15th century. The final paper discusses the narrow wares sold to the royal wardrobe by the London silkwoman Alice Claver, and the circle to which she belonged. |
