From the Maciejowski Bible
<Old Testament Miniatures>
This page has several
different topics that will be discussed as you read further. Primarily,
I have done this to save on web space and repeating pictures. I have
used the lowest resolution I could to show the pictures rather than show
only a few in high quality. Bear with me in my ramblings and dual topics
on each picture. I'll refer to the book often using F=folio with its
number, then recto=R or Verso=V followed by the panel number. [E.G.: Folio
40 Recto plate 244 = F 40 r 244] |

40 R 244. we can see a wide variety of
helmets from the enclosed great helm, Norman-styled
helms with a rim piece and nasal, fluted domed helms,
Cervelliere [the small round under caps], the one king
has a flat-topped open-faced helm with his crown about
the top rim, and of course several angular kettle hats
or chapel-de-fers. Note also that all the mounted
knights wear mail chausses while the figures besieging
the tower have only hauberks and coifs and no
chausses, possibly for ease of movement while not
mounted.
