The following book is based on a lecture on Medieval Textiles in Sweden given by Dr. Agnes Geijer, who was Curator of Textiles at Statens Historiska Museum in Stockholm, Sweden. Asked to write an article on that subject, Dr. Geijer preferred to concentrate her attention upon the Uppsala treasury. Apart from the fact that many of the individual textiles are particularly interesting in themselves, their presentation as a textile ensemble may also reveal valuable aspects of the art of liturgical ornaments.
