Notes on traditional Catalan clothing. This book by Joan Amades explores in detail the popular clothing of Catalonia, offering a rich and documented vision of local customs and traditions through its typical costumes. An essential work to understand the Catalan cultural identity.
Joan Amades i Gelats was a Catalan ethnologist and folklorist. An autodidact, he worked at the historical archive of the city of Barcelona and at the Museum of Industry and Popular Arts of the same city. From 1956 onwards, he collaborated with UNESCO. He was also an important promoter of Esperanto and founded the Federació Esperantista Catalana. Perhaps the most important book in his large bibliography is Costumari Català, the main work for the study of Catalan popular culture.
