Re: 'tent' research

["Hugo Tremblay"]

This image is (French title):

"Bénédiction de la foire du Lendit"

The name of the manuscript it cones from is:

Pontifical à l'usge de Rome / Pontifical de Sens, Paris XIV siècle

It is located in the Bibliotheque Nationale de France, under Manuscrpit 
Latin 962, folio 264r. For some reason, this manuscript is not available 
thorugh Mandragore, but maybe it is just inexperience on my part... You can 
see it in color is you do a search for "foire" in the google engine on the 
www.bnf.fr site.

And to come back to the topic, since this scene represents a faire, my guess 
is that the contructions are cloth-covered stalls, used to display the 
various wares being sold.Maybe searching for that instead of tents will 
provide more information in your search.

Good day to all!

Hugo
