From Herrad von Landsperg, Hortus deliciarum Loose turbans, wide flat hats, and berets, as well as new fur hat styles from the Pale of Settlement, remain associated with Jews up to the eighteenth century and beyond. Where a distinctive pointed Jewish hat remains it has become much less defined in shape, and baggy. In pictures of Biblical scenes these sometimes represent attempts to portray the contemporary dress of the (modern) time worn in the Holy Land, but all the same styles are to be seen in some images of contemporary European scenes. The materials used are unclear from art, and may have included metal and woven plant materials as well as stiffened textiles and leather.īy the end of the Middle Ages the hat is steadily replaced by a variety of headgear including exotic flared Eastern style hats, turbans and, from the fifteenth century, wide flat hats and large berets.

The top of the hat becomes flatter, or rounded (as in the Codex Manesse picture). In the fourteenth century a ball or bobble appears at the top of the hat, and the tapering end becomes more of a stalk with a relatively constant width.

Sometimes a ring of some sort encircles the hat an inch or two over the top of the head. Smaller versions perching on top of the head are also seen. Sometimes, especially in the thirteenth century, it is a soft Phrygian cap, but rather more common in the early period is a hat with a round circular brim-apparently stiff-curving round to a tapering top that ends in a point, called the "so-called oil-can type" by Sara Lipton. 5 Regulated dress for Jews in the Islamic world.
