		The 15th century doublet was usually padded, had a low collar and lacing holes around the bottom of the skirts to which the hose were attached, and, ordinarily, had sleeves.

		The roundness was more exaggerated in the late 14th century to early 15th century and slowly became more flattened as the 15th century progressed.

	15th Century Renaissance Painting
		In the seventeenth century the painters of Spain and the Netherlands were at least the equals and often the superiors of their Italian brethren of the same date, a fact which has its analogies in the history of architecture.
		The idea of fifteenth century art derived from these latter pictures would, for this reason, be a narrow one and yet they are the only pictures which foreign museums or galleries can display, because they are the only ones which are transferable or portable.
		In turning to the sixteenth century painting we note its most important monumental works as the decoration of the Sistine Chapel of the Vatican, by Michael Angelo; the wall-paintings of the Vatican by Raphael, and the decoration of the Doge's Palace in Venice by a whole series of the great Venetian artists.

	Richard III Society -- 15th century Life
		The fifteenth century in England was not, in fact, a time of refined intellectual achievement; it was rather an era which produced a remarkable number of first-generation literates whose tastes tended to be conservative and accepting of tradition and authority.
		Early in the century an anonymous author completed the first English handbook on obstetrics and gynecology, and this was not the only indication of a practical interest in matters of medicine and health.
		One of the most curious intellectual figures of the century, a man who attempted to popularize philosophical and theological ideas by writing in English, was Reginald Pecock, bishop of Chichester, whose ideas were sufficiently unusual to cause him to be the first English bishop convened for heresy.

	The Origins of the Inquisition in 15th Century Spain (review)
		In consequence, in the middle of the 15th century (and no doubt in many cases even later) the great majority of the New Christians in Spain had not yet shaken off the shadow of their past; and the result of this fact was the consciousness of their "otherness" that determined the attitude of their neighbors...
		As a result, by the middle of the 15th century there was a numerically large (perhaps 100,000), and politically and economically significant community of people of Jewish descent in Spain who were, at least outwardly, Christians.
		Crypto-Judaism was a phenomenon as early as the fifth century BC, during a Zoroastrian persecution in Persia, and it occurred sporadically in Muslim societies (including Muslim Spain under the Almohades in the 12th century) as well as in Christian societies (including Christian Spain under the Visigoths in the seventh century).

	Susan Reed: Men's Headdress -- A Review of Literature
		The previous article on 15th century visual evidence as sources of costume information (in the Archive) was also derived that study.
		For example, the open-fronted hood is a rather prevalent form of 15th century Northern European women’s headdress, but receives no mention in that section of the book, while the elaborate horned headdresses, worn by a small minority of the population, were described in detail.
		This review of literature is a part of ongoing presentation of my thesis project on 15th and early 16th century men’s headdress.

	15th Century Flags (Spain)
		In 15th century coats-of-arms they could be seen as any number from five to nine arrows, pointing upwards, downwards or sideways.
		The Spanish flag being relatively new —it was first used at the end of the eighteenth century— the kings of Spain used to fly the flags of the different kingdoms that joined together at the end of the Middle Ages.
		The Castile and Leon flag is reputedly the first to have flown on American territory, since it was the one used by Christopher Columbus on behalf of the Spanish government who subsidized his journeys.

	The State Hermitage Museum: Collection Highlights
		The 17th century opens with a number of remarkable examples of formal portraiture, such as Portrait of Don Diego de Villamaior (1605) by Juan Pantoja de la Cruz.
		Among the 16th-century paintings, two works attract considerable attention, El Greco's The Apostles Peter and Paul (late 1580s) and Nailing Christ to the Cross (1582), the first dated work by F. Ribalta, the founder of the Spanish realist school.
		Works by Ribera, Zurbaran, Velazquez, the most outstanding artists of the 17th century - the "Golden Age" of Spanish painting - give the collection particular significance.

	Christian Century: 15th century AD
		Liberal Protestants in the 19th century were quick to reject all things Greek (that is, metaphysical) and embrace all things Hebraic (that is, ethical).
		Karl Barth, Rudolf Bultmann, Friedrich Gogarten and Emil Brunner turned to the teaching of the Protestant reformers of the 16th century for inspiration, and while these so-called neo-orthodox theologians did not simply repristinate the theology of Luther and Calvin, they saw no reason to abandon the prejudices of the reformers against scholastic theology.
		The correction to liberal theology made by the dialectical theology of the early 20th century scarcely improved Protestant approaches to Aquinas.

	Hope Greenberg: 15th cent. Dresses: A portfolio of Images
		This site contains images of women from paintings and sculpture of the 15th century by artists working primarily in the northwestern part of Europe.
		The gowns show a distinct evolution from the full, loose fitting overgowns, with fitted undergowns, of the early part of the century, to the narrower silhouette of the later part of the century, ending with the transition gown that crosses over to the 16th century.
		In this case the term kirtle is being used simply as a catch-all for the short-sleeved fitted style of undergown, evolved from the previous century.

	ASIA SOCIETY: THE COLLECTION IN CONTEXT
		The Kushans, descendants of nomads from various parts of Central Asia, settled in what is present-day northern India, the Gandhara region of Pakistan, and eastern Afghanistan by the 2nd century B.C.E., although it was not until the 1st century C.E. that the empire was united under one ruler.
		Art from the Gandhara region shows the strong impact of Greek and Roman sculpture, owing in part to the conquests of Alexander the Great in that part of the world in the 4th century B.C.E. and to the strong diplomatic and trade relations between the Kushans and Rome.
		There were two artistic centers of the Kushan empire, each with a distinctive style: a northern one in the Gandhara region centered around Peshawar and later in Taxila, and a southern one in Mathura, south of present-day New Delhi.

Compton Reeves, "thought of the fifteenth century in English history as a time when English folk had forgotten what was good for them politically, religiously, legally, and in most other ways.
