Early 12th Century Bible

I've pulled some costuming illustrations from a 12th Century French Bible. Its of south western origin from the Limosin provence. Started in 1100 and finished in 1124, the manuscript is in the Aquitain style (I don't know what that means, I'm a costumer not a scribe sadly). Paris, Bibl. Mazarine, MS 0001. Text is in latin and covers Genesis through Job.

I'm adding in notes for the oblivious, but not going to comment a lot on them at this point. I have some generalized theories on how to construct these garments, hats, leggings, and shoes, but I don't want to taint what you get out of them right now. I will set a goal of adding links to the side with my theories. Enjoy!

First figure:

Blue tunic, fitted to body and arms. Cuffs and collar in what appears to be embroidered or woven trim. Collar embroidery continues to waist. Bottom of tunic beautifully draped in illustration, knee length. Fitted leggings or bare legs with brown shoes. Shoes appear high in back with tongue extending up a little in front. (detail of fol. 15)

Second figure:

Another blue tunic. Embroidered or woven collar and cuffs. Sleeves and torso of tunic close fitting as above. Ankle length tunic with embroidered or woven hem. Mantle draped over figure not clear on shape. Man on ground in same color blue tunic that is knee length. Standing figure barefoot, prostrate figure red fitted leggins, image unclear for footwear. (detail of fol. 41v)

Third figure:

Grey tunic. Fitted sleeves as above. Trimmed as above. Mantle draped similarly. Red leggings with brown shoes. Grey head covering. Notice horizontal lines drawn into torso area. (detail of fol. 82)

Forth figure:

Mantle on man has fitted and trimmed neck. All ankle length tunics. Same horizontal decoration on illumination at torso. Short fitted shoes. (detail fol. 85)

Same style embroidered bands, sleeves a little looser. Red mantle as before with same bands. Full length tunic with embroidered or woven bands at hem. No shoes. (detail fol. 144)

Seventh figure:

Green phyrengian hat. Thicker tunic with rounded detailing at cuffs. Could this imply a furred garment? Red mantle as previous. Looser cuffs. Knee length with bands at hem. Green leggings with same short fitted shoe as before. (detail fol. 162v)
