SUMMARY- The chapter on leather gives a list of famous leather workers, and an overview of change in types of leatherwork used to adorn and impress. Apparently, cuir bouilli was very important in this work early on. The chapter on leather is only 3 pages, and does not go into any real detail on how the work was done.
