Dear fellows, does anyone knows If any byzantine source of the 13th, 14th or 15th centuries specifically mentions the use of scale of lamellar armor? I've been searching a little about late byzantine armor, And It seems that the only archeological findings And textual mentions referente to chain mail or leather armor (this last one mentioned). I saw a mention regarding some lamellar plates from that period being found in serbia, but could'nt find the source, And also saw the post about the 14th century findings in the Bulgarian Tsar Palace, but It seems those were pieces of a coat of plates. It seems to me that our only source for the existence of late period lamellar And scale in the byzantine territories And their neighbors are the notoriously conservative paintings of warrior Saints ir biblical Saints (And perhaps some paintings ir drawings by pisanello)...
