Dear colleagues,
For a translation project I am searching for reliable/scholarly books
or articles on ecclestiastical/liturgical vestments which clearly
explains all the elements in the correct terminology with diagrams. In
English.
Google has thrown up various books on the subject (spanning a century)
but there is no way of knowing if any provide this specific
information, apart from wading through various incompletely scanned
Google Books. I have found the extensive 'Catholic encyclopedia'
website, very good for furnishings and objects, but there is too
little information on these textiles.
I would also appreciate learning of any textile historian forums where
I could post this question.
With thanks in advance,
