| 520 | _a"The Armourer and His Craft from the XIth to the XVIth Century" by Charles Ffoulkes is a historical account written in the early 20th century. The book delves into the craft of the armourer, examining the tools, techniques, and significance of armour from medieval times up through the Renaissance. It emphasizes the crucial role of the armourer in the development of both military effectiveness and artistic craftsmanship in Europe. The opening of the work outlines the importance of the armourer's craft during the Middle Ages and highlights the individual significance of skilled artisans in warfare. Ffoulkes discusses the evolution of armor design, the materials used, and the shifting requirements of wartime protection, such as the transition from mail to plate armor due to advancements in weaponry. The text reflects on the historical context and celebrates the artistry of renowned craftsmen, while also laying the groundwork for detailed discussions on the various aspects of armor production that will be explored throughout the book. The tone is scholarly, aiming to fill a gap in the literature by focusing on the practicalities of armor making rather than just its historical narrative.
