Website of the Week (WoW) #95: The Lexis of Cloth and Clothing Project
This interdisciplinary project investigated the relationships between vocabulary, artefact and image for medieval textiles in England. It studied the genesis and subsequent development of the vocabulary through the early languages of Britain (Old and Middle English; Welsh, Old Irish and minor Celtic languages; Anglo-Norman/French, Medieval Latin, Anglo-Norse).
