Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from Companion to the Principles of Gothic Ecclesiastical Architecture: Being a Brief Account of the Vestments in Use in the Church, Prior To, and the Changes Therein in and From, the Reign of Edward Vi, Etc., Etc., Etc
Here we have a record of the introduction of the vest ments into the Early anglo-saxon Church. Their sub sequent retention, though differing more or less in fashion in each succeeding age, lasted to the middle of the sixteenth century, some nine centuries and a half. During the seventh, eighth, and ninth centuries, we have, in this country, few, if any, representations of the vestments then in use.
