About this ebook
The following book is based on a lecture on Medieval Textiles in Sweden given by Dr. Agnes Geijer, who was Curator of Textiles at Statens Historiska Museum in Stockholm, Sweden.
Asked to write an article on that subject, Dr. Geijer preferred to concentrate her attention upon the Uppsala treasury. Apart from the fact that many of the individual textiles are particularly interesting in themselves, their presentation as a textile ensemble may also reveal valuable aspects of the art of liturgical ornaments.

Medieval Textiles in the Cathedral of Uppsala, Sweden - Agnes Geijer
1295.
MEDIEVAL TEXTILES
IN THE CATHEDRAL OF UPPSALA, SWEDEN
by
DR. AGNES GEIJER

Until fairly recently these garments were preserved in churches, where indeed many of them are still to be found.
A considerable proportion of these extant garments are made of imported materials as a result of Sweden’s commercial relations with the Hanseatic League during the XV century. Silks and brocades from Italian looms are numerous, but there is also a small quantity of Far Eastern products. The art of needlework is represented by some outstanding pieces dating from the XIII and XIV centuries, made in France, England, or Italy. From the XV and the early XVI centuries we have a large number of embroideries,
