Geschichte der liturgischen Gewänder des Mittelalters, oder, Entstehung und Entwicklung der kirchlichen Ornate und Paramente : in Rücksicht auf Stoff, Gewebe, Farbe, Zeichnung, Schnitt und rituelle Bedeutung nachgewiesen
Franz Bock's 1859 history of medieval liturgical vestments, published in Bonn for scholars and church historians, traces the fabrics, colours, patterns and cut of church ornaments and their ritual meaning. The plates show a seated figure group with cross-patterned textiles, a plan and elevation of a church furnishing, a roundel-framed decorative border, and an arched altar canopy with a carved tympanum, offering a designer a catalogue of medieval ecclesiastical ornament, cross motifs and roundel borders.
