Subject: Girdle books
Can someone point me in the right direction to find information about the surviving mediaeval girdle books in libraries and/or museums? As I understand it from a mention about an NYPL exhibit several years ago, there are only 23 known examples remaining and I will contact NYPL, of course. If you know of any other institutions that own mediaeval girdle books, I would appreciate hearing from you. Margit J.
