Moffet's Medieval Arms and Armour: A Sourcebook is hopeful. It hopes to spark further scholarship, which this writer also hopes, and thinks likely. This generation of armor scholars, such as Nicholas Dupras, author of an influential PhD thesis, Medieval Armourers and Their Workshops (2012), now has a compass, carefully crafted by Moffet with plenty of leads for avenues for graduate and professional research. * H-NET REVIEWS * Anyone interested in this field of study simply must own this book, and they will find themselves consulting it over and over again. No need for free shelf space, Moffat's sourcebook will best be kept close at hand on your desk or workbench. * HISTOFAKT.DE * [An] important contribution to the scholarly study of arms and armor, which provides a model for further publications that expand the overall base of information available for future detailed studies. -- FRANCIA Ralph Moffat, Curator of European Arms and Armour at Glasgow Museums, has produced an invaluable work of reference in his Medieval Arms and Armour: A Sourcebook. -- Oliver Creighton * Medieval Archaeology *
