High Fashion in the Church - The Place of Church Vestments in the History of Art from the Ninth to the Nineteenth Century

The decoration of church vestments, which are the ceremonial garments worn by the clergy at the celebration of the Mass, has always been a matter of high fashion. This book aims is to show something of the origins and use of the vestments themselves, but mainly to trace the development of their decoration in the context of the arts of one period.
