So on a couple of lists and on my friends page the Atlantian publication "The Oak" has been mentioned now the last two days. I clicked on the link and found some interesting articles.

• Period Legal documents. Quite a good summary, explains the basics, elaborates on the most commonly used shorthands and tricks.
  
• Hose in the 16th Century. Only skimmed as yet, but looks chock-full of research goodness.
  
• Clothes on the great bed of Ware. (.pdf) An Elizabethan bed and its bedclothes for spiffing up your camping experience.
  

Splendid I say. There's more there for ones with wider scopes, Dafydd ap Gwystl's period card games and pavilino, viking stuff, etc. Certainly something to keep an eye on when new issuese are published.

Thank you! I have been looking for the bed documentation myself. All I had was a postcard from V&A. Now I can dream about bedding :)

You're welcome. I admit I did have you in mind when I linked to that particular article :)
