AUTHOR
SUMMARY
"As a French medievalist, [Pastoureau] is in his glory describing the birth of royal blue, the contentious politics of the medieval dyeing industry, theological strictures against mixing colors, and sumptuary laws and dress codes that maintained class hierarchy through color....Pastoureau takes us into territory that could be made to feel impossibly dense and absurdly specialized. To his credit, the tour is brisk and challenging."Pastoureau, Michel is the author of 'Blue The History of a Color' with ISBN 9780691090504 and ISBN 0691090505.
