A History of the Idea of Glued Linen Armour
#31
And many people are interested in ancient linen and leather armour, but most of them don't have resources to track down Byzantine chronicles or articles in German and Italian from 1874 and 1887. The members of the Green Bay Linothorax Project worked hard to publicize their project and to give the impression that the glue theory is the most plausible. So if you do have resources, I think its important to be very clear and honest about the evidence, even the evidence which does not support your favourite theory.
Nullis in verba

I have not checked this forum frequently since 2013, but I hope that these old posts have some value. I now have a blog on books, swords, and the curious things humans do with them.
