Geschichte der liturgischen Gewänder des Mittelalters, oder, Entstehung und Entwicklung der kirchlichen Ornate und Paramente : in Rücksicht auf Stoff, Gewebe, Farbe, Zeichnung, Schnitt und rituelle Bedeutung nachgewiesen

Bock, Franz, 1823-1899 · 1859 · Bonn : Henry & Cohen · 31 pictures

A German church-history study of medieval liturgical vestments by Franz Bock, published in Bonn in 1859, covering fabrics, weaving, colour, pattern, cut and ritual meaning for scholars and church historians. Its colour plates show stylised saints, figures and ornamental borders drawn from vestment designs, which a designer could take as reference for medieval textile patterns, decorative panels, and Gothic-revival colour palettes built on ochre, crimson, green and gold.
