Quotations
  • 1909: Some authorities profess to discover jazeraint work in this representation, which was a method of defence much used in later centuries for archers' jacques and various other garments, but we have no right to assume that the Normans at that period carried such a heavy weight of armor as this would necessitate, or were acquainted with such a technical and complicated manufacture as jazeraint work. — Charles Henry Ashdown, European Arms & Armor, page 68.
