Dorothy G. Shepherd reviews Manuel Gómez-Moreno's 1946 publication on the textiles found in the royal tombs at the Cistercian convent of Las Huelgas de Burgos, adding notes from her own study there in 1949. She re-classifies the silks, twills, half-silks and tapestries using Nancy Reath's weave terminology and disagrees with Gómez-Moreno's attributions, assigning many pieces to Hispano-Islamic or Mudejar workshops rather than Christian or Regensburg ones. Fourteen plates illustrate fabrics from the tombs of Fernando de la Cerda, Leonor of Aragon, Alfonso VIII and others, and a comparison stucco panel.
