Books, books and more books…

A rather eclectic collection of books…
Catalina’s world…

edition…)
Isabel
of Spain: The Catholic Queen
by Warren H. Carroll

very in love with his subject??

and the Age of Reformation Dover Publications;
April 1, 2001
Erasmus intrigued me…
Isabel
La Catolica, Queen of Castile: Critical Essays, David A. Boruchoff
(Editor) Publisher: Palgrave Macmillan Published: 2002
David M. Gitlitz and Linda Kay Davidson, The
Pilgrimage Road to Santiago : The Complete Cultural Handbook St.
Martin’s Griffin; 1st ed edition (July 2000)
On the way to the port of
Corunna, Catalina went to
Santiago as a pilgrim, taking advantage of the indulgence of that year. This
book has really made me want to experience * the road* too – but if that
doesn’t happen, it was especially helpful in descriptions of landscape,
fauna and flora, etc…
But it still hasn’t answered the
questions about whether an unwed princess would dress the part of a pilgrim
and go through all the various rituals before going to Saint James. Still
hunting for the answer…
by William Melczer

Antonia
Fraser, The six wives of Henry VIII, Arrow Books, 1998 –
It was this book which made me decide
to get Hispanic Costume 1480-1530. I wanted to know
the kind of veil Fraser claimed highborn
Castilian girls wore. Anderson’s book has me conclude it really was a
mantle, rather than veil, as the veil, framing the face, didn’t cover a
woman’s face completely…

I also express my sincere thanks to a
very kind historian who has loaned me his thesis on Chapuys, hoping he
hasn’t minded it rather lengthy stay on my bookshelf.
Dear Heart…
