Eva Lemos Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 HI friends!I’m from Argentina and I’m trying to recreate a corsair moorish woman who lived in Al- Andalus at the first half of 14th century. Her name was Malika Fadel ben Salvador, if you know she.I´m looking for cloth hints and hope maybe you could help me. Is there a file with details of this period?Thank you very much.

Duchess Posted March 17, 2013 Share Posted March 17, 2013 Hi Eva, this is something a few of us have been tossing around for several years. I believe in a couple of topics about the Ottoman Empire. Try searching that a see what comes up. I'll try to find those topics as well. :) Duchess Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi Eva, Several years ago I knew some people who were focused on Al Andalus in roughly that time frame. I think they even had a group for discussions on Yahoo. Perhaps it would be worth seeing if they are still active? Meanwhile I'll check with a friend whose interests overlapped with that time and place through her dance studies. She may know someone who has focused exactly on the area you wish to explore. Jen Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mission Posted March 18, 2013 Share Posted March 18, 2013 It's from a book called Recueil de cent Estampes Representant differentes Nations du Levant by Monsieur de Ferriol, first published in 1705. You can find hand-colored images by entering that title into Google Image search. Mycroft: "My brother has the brain of a scientist or a philosopher, yet he elects to be a detective. What might we deduce about his heart?" John: "I don't know." Mycroft: "Neither do I. But initially he wanted to be a pirate." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jendobyns Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 I know you gentlemen are trying to be helpful to Eva, but those pictures are essentially Turkish, the Levant is on the eastern side of the Mediterranean. She is looking for Al Andalus, which is part of Spain and has it's own characteristics. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Captain Jim Posted March 25, 2013 Share Posted March 25, 2013 Precisely. And Mission...what can I say. You have now become the reference librarian, the spooky one that can sense when the card file is out of sequence. My occupational hazard bein' my occupation's just not around...
