K. Turska

Kwartalnik Historii Kultury Materialnej > 2004 > 52 > 2 > 207-216

Making a living as farmer, he was not particularly well-off and had a minimal set of festive garments, though made of high quality materials (an overcoat and trousers of Italian woollen cloth, shirts of Cologne linen). He obviously paid more attention to riding equipment, as he...

Z. Guldon, S. Kazusek

Kwartalnik Historii Kultury Materialnej > 2004 > 52 > 3 > 287-303

The 1620s and 1630s witnessed a major credit crisis, which preceded a decline of trade in the mid 16th c. On the other hand, R. Rybarski concludes that in the mid 16th century the proportion of Jews in trade was generally low. According to the records...

ARMS AND ARMOUR ON LATE MEDIEVAL FRESCOS FROM THE PARISH CHURCH IN KOZIEGLOWY

G. Zabinski

Kwartalnik Historii Kultury Materialnej > 2004 > 52 > 3 > 259-271

Frescos from the church in Kozieglowy (province of Silesia) have not been explored so far as a source for the history of arms and armour in Poland. They are of rather schematic nature; moreover, they are probably a compilation of an early fifteenth-century background with later layers from the 1470s. However, they are a good representation of the so-called 'mocking armour' (depictions of armed oppressors...
