This book has a lot of later period armour made for parades and other ceremonies. Very little of the armour in this book is functional combat grade armour. It is of minimal use to the reproducer of armour, but it is still worth having. It is rich with text on each suit, and the pictures are superb.
If you want to make reference to pictures of armour for reproduction purposes, this book will be very minimally useful to you.
If you want to do research on ceremonial armour, this is for you.

This book is an oasis of information on Heroic armor as it was well researched from 14th - 16th century documents, statues, and paintings. Including a collection of photographs of helmets, shields, breast plates, and all things concerning armor especially concerning the Filippo Negroli workshop and his contemporaries.

Un pezzo da collezione,consigliatissimo specie per gli appassionati di Negroli e della perfezione delle armature da parata Italiane del 1500.
5 stelle.
Extremely fast shipping,the book is in perfect condition,with no damaged parts.
I would like to advice this book for the appasionate and cultists of Italian Parade armours of 1500 made by Negroli's family.
A must have,and a precious book.

変わり兜満載
Reviewed in Japan on June 23, 2008Verified Purchase
大雑把に言うと、テキスト70%、写真30%と言った感じでしょうか。
割合的には決して多くは無いのですが、流石にページ数が多いので値段と比較して写真の数はそれなりに満足。
それよりも、他の本でも中々載っていない”変わり甲冑”が中心だというのがこの本の特徴。
ある時代から実践的な甲冑とは別にパレードやプレゼントといったファッション的な要素が強くなって
装飾がエスカレートしてきます。
そんな人や獣の顔が張り付いた様な甲冑が鮮明な画像で沢山見る事ができます。
西洋甲冑の資料で既に一通りの様式をご存知で、
一歩踏み込んだ癖のある内容を求めている方にはお勧めいたします。
