TENT - Beds in Tents.

[Stephen Wyley]

Hi Charles,

I like you article on the Viking Beds. I was especially interested in 
the Beds in Tents on the end, since I have a project underway dealing 
with the Tents of History, see;

http://www.geocities.com/svenskildbiter/Tents/intro.html

I have not in fact come across the specific wood cut before so I will 
have to add it to my ever going list.

Other manuscripts which have beds in them are;

Historie du Graal by Robert de Borron (13th Century)
http://www.geocities.com/svenskildbiter/Tents/13thcentury/13thc-7.html

Grandes de Chroniques de France (1400 A.D.)
http://www.geocities.com/svenskildbiter/Tents/14thcentury/1400-1.html

Bibbia Istoriata Padovanna (with some chests as well) (1400 A.D.) 
(folios 51r and 51v)
http://www.geocities.com/svenskildbiter/Tents/14thcentury/1400-2.html

The Vision of Constantine by Piero Della Francesca (1454 -1458 A.D.)
http://www.geocities.comsvenskildbiter/Tents/15thcentury/1454-1458.html

Judith Taking Holifern's Head (1455 - 1465 A.D.)
http://www.geocities.com/svenskildbiter/Tents/15thcentury/1455-1465.html

Iliad, Master of the Vatican Homer (1477 A.D.)
http://www.geocities.com/svenskildbiter/Tents/15thcentury/1477.html

Siege of Betulia by Erhard Schoen (1533 A.D.)
http://www.geocities.comsvenskildbiter/Tents/16thcentury/1533-1.html

Judith and the Holofernes by H. Vogtherr, the Elder (1543 A.D.)
http://www.geocities.com/svenskildbiter/Tents/16thcentury/1510-2.html

I have also noted that tents with chests in them are more frequent than beds.

PS

I think the Maciejowsky Bible (1250 A.D.) has some beds in tents too.
