Quote from the Treasure of the City of Ladies

[bunnyjadwiga]

by Christian Pizan, quoted in Clean, by Virginia Smith:

... fine white cloth, tablecloths, napkins, and other linen made... she will have very fine linen-- delicate, generously embroidered and well made... will keep it white and sweet-smelling; neatly folded into a chest.

(sarah lawson translation, 148)
