  Dear all,


  this is my first entry in this mailinglist and sorry for my horrible =
  english / grammar ...

  i hope i can send pictures with this system ...

  see attachmend...


  it is from two altarpieces from the painter:=20
   "Meister der Warendorfer Altars " =20

    "Der Isselhorster Altar"   arround 1430
  and same painter:
   "Marter des Hl.Laurentius"  arround 1400

  this are the absolutly only one secure recourses I know .



  I don`t know any recourses in excavation-reports ore in museum.
  no soles with nail-holes ore any nails ...
  and in Konstanz, Schleswig and Freiburg are thausends of leather and =
  shoe findings in the excavations...


  to the analogy:  min. 50% of the Roman shoes in excavations are nailed =
  ...

  I`m absolutly shure that shoenails are not often in use in the 15th =
  century ore yearlier.







  yours

    Hello,

    There are a fair few hobnailed boots in Gerry's "Medieval Military =
  Costume",=20
    and he quotes Piers Plowman as evidence, along with mentioning the =
  existence=20
    of some pictorial sources.  I'm wondering if anyone knows what these =
  sources=20
    are, or whether any more evidence has come to light since then.

    Thanks,

    Chris Bailey
