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
Franz Bock's 1859 Bonn study of medieval liturgical vestments, published for scholars and church historians, traces the materials, weaves, colours, patterns and cut of church garments and their ritual meaning. Its plates show stylised ornamental borders, geometric and interlace panels, a chasuble-like cloth with repeated motifs, and a tunic with decorated bands and hems, giving designers a catalogue of historic textile pattern and border systems.
