This is a great service you have provided, listing these textiles. I am looking for a description or image of a cloak, dating from Henry II's time (11th c.) that has been ascribed to the southern Italian Duke Melo or Melus. It is/was in the cathedral treasury at Bamberg. Is there any reference in the book to it?Do they still refer to it as Melo's or is it one of the ones ascribed above to Henry II or St Kunigunde? Some of my research has been on the entertaining description of Duke Melo in William of Apulia's poem on the deeds of Robert Guiscard and perceptions of identity through descriptions of dress. You can read it here on my medieval exchanges blog: http://scambimedievali.wordpress.com/2008/08/28/whos-who-in-medieval-southern-italy/
ReplyDeleteHi there. I'm afraid I'm not aware of any reference to this item in the book. 18 and 19 have inscriptions attibuting them to Kunigunde and Henry respectively. The embroidery in 24 depicts and man with throne and sceptre and 25 is covered in ecclesiatical scenes. Perhaps you could try contacting Bamberg Cathedral Tresasury directly? Here's an email address for the diocesan museum: dioezesanmuseum@erzbistum-bamberg.de
ReplyDeleteHello, I am a professor of medieval history at Saint Louis University and am doing research on the medieval pallium. If you are still able and willing, could you please send me the text and picture for no. 27h, Pope Clement II's pallium? I would be immensely grateful! My email address is sschoeni@slu.edu. Steve Schoenig, S.J.
ReplyDeleteHello. This thread may be too old for a repsonse, but I thought I'd try! I am looking for information on No.3, particularly an embroidered reliquary which was in Regensburg, Cathedral treasury. Links to any images would be great too. Thank you, Elizabeth
ReplyDeleteIf you still follow this, I would greatly appreciate information about the 12th and 13th century tablet woven bands! My email is libby.cripps@gmail.com
