I have two plausibly period tent designs that I am happy with. One is 
Daffyd's version of a pavillion--single center pole, hub and spoke 
structure (like an umbrella), no external ropes. I can set it up 
single handed in less than half an hour. It is about 13 feet in 
diameter at the shoulder (which is six feet high) and about 19 feet 
at ground level. It's a fair amount of work to make, but doable.

The other is a geteld, which I made for my kids. It's basically a pup 
tent shape, except that the sides are wider at the bottom than at the 
top. It is also easy to set up single handed, much less work to make, 
but a good deal less space efficient.

You can find pictures of both at Stephen Bloch's web page; I don't 
have the URL but expect a search would find it easily.
