From a 16thC book that I've lost the title and date of( 1530-1550ish) it's an English-Latin phrase book for travellers, the idea being when in furren parts(!) you find the priest and point at bits of the book whilst shouting ME NO UNDERSTANDEE JOHNNY FOREIGN, aaah the British abroad.

My favourite 17thC name is "Praise Be To God Barebones", after who the Barbones parliament is named.

that's true, at public events there is a spectrum of traders those who make and sell their products those who buy and sell things that "look" historic" those who do both. In these hard times if you want to sell to the PUBLIC as opposed to re-enactors you need to have a line of pocket ...

I'm afraid we have a terrible market at TORM. For several reasons, I think 1). There were plenty of visitors on the Saturday, so no complaints there, but many were not spending (or reducing spending) due to the economic climate. I suspect there is some sort of pecking order when it comes to spending...

Hi Will Styles bookbinder and Jolly Box Man here. I agree about the slip case. What you need is a book box (no not a Jolly Box), made out of card and backed in leather or book cloth depending on your budget. This should be tightly fitting, so made to measure. I have just made one to contain a lovely...

Looks good I would suggest that you add removeable hoops (like in a covered wagon). It would give you extra exhibition space and room to hang the sign. And the sign should be?

Not sure how long Fashion Shows go back. However there is evidence that dolls were dressed up in the latest fashion as a marketing tool, maybe as early as the 16thC. I'm not sure whether this is your best forum for this. There are several historicial costumier groups where you will get a better answ...

Didn't spot this until the ending of the item. It is quite possible that a screw thread could have been made in the 16thC. They date back to Roman times for grape juice and olive oil presses. However I dont have the "feel" that it is 16th or 17th C. Since the screw thread is not really nec...

I had a word with the organizers yesterday and we had a very constructive meeting. I can't say much more at the moment because I have to write up what we agreed at the meeting and see if their perception is the same as mine. We certainly agreed about the "Fringe benefits" which will be a l...

I can't see why we would import leathers from such a distance given that we exported leather to France and the cost differential would not have been worth the journey given the more expensive cargoes that were on offer. I was referring to the finish on the Morocco leather which I still understand wa...

PS the bookbinding leather that we call Morocco is probably 18thC? But I could be wrong.

It rather depend what sort of cloth merchant you were and when in the medieval period. If you organised the production of cloth you would be a "Clothier" ( a proto-capitalist) although this could mean on a large or small scale. Many Clothiers ran their own dyehouse so presumably this was w...
