{"product_id":"clothing-weapons-of-the-durer-period-1480-1530","title":"Clothing \u0026 Weapons of the Dürer Period 1480-1530","description":"This\nbook is the first volume of the final part of Ulrich Lehnarts costume history\nof the Middle Ages. It comprises the period between the end of the Middle Ages\nand early modern times. This era is particularly interesting in that both\ncostume and armour underwent a gradual yet ultimately radical change. The\nchanges in style in civilian and military fashion is a clear indicator that\neven in their outward appearance, men and women had entered a new period in\ntime.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe sheer abundance of general developments and individual aspects as well as\nthe many pictorial sources have called for a structuring of this book into two\nparts. The volume at hand will thus concentrate on the costume and equipment of\nthe German Landsknechts and their wives, the Swiss Reisläufers, the Reisigen\nlight horsemen, and the knights.\u003cbr\u003e\n\u003cbr\u003e\nThe first part of the book concerns itself mainly with the costume of the\nLandsknechts. The foot soldier is thus the first object of interest, followed\nby the arms and armour of the men who fought on horseback. The development and\ntransition of German armour from the Baroque Gothic period to the early\nRenaissance is the subject of a careful and extensive analysis. Many pictures\nof either original or high-quality reconstructions of both smooth and fluted\ncuirasses form a large part of this books many illustrations. The weapons of\nthe cavalry and for the first time also the edged weapons and polearms of the\ninfantry form the topic of the last part of this work.","brand":"Zeughausverlag GmbH","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56539078000984,"sku":"9783963600708","price":55.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0278\/1295\/4195\/files\/9783963600708.jpg?v=1770982238","url":"https:\/\/agendabookshop.com\/products\/clothing-weapons-of-the-durer-period-1480-1530","provider":"Agenda Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
