Tak v Bowes Departed: A 15th Century Braiding Manual Examined


by Elizabeth Benns and Gina Barrett

Tak v bowes departed is an in-depth study of Article 4, British Library 
Manuscript Harley 2320. This treatise, which dates to the fifteenth century, 
gives instructions for making forty different braids of varying complexity.

Braids such as these were used for a variety of purposes during the medieval 
period; lacing clothes, purse strings, decorative trim and seal tags. This 
book discusses the background of the original manuscript; who may have owned 
it, how it was made, and compares the spelling and language with other similar 
documents.

Tak v bowes departed concludes with modern instructions to make each of the 
braids; original errors have been corrected and noted, and each braid is 
clearly illustrated for reference. The instructions are provided as both text and 
diagrams, and include a detailed overview of the technique of 'fingerloop 
braiding' for those new to this skill.
