Anderson, Ruth Matilda. Hispanic Costume: 1480-1530. New York: Order of the Trustess, The Hispanic Society of America, 1979.
An excellent book for Spanish costume. It includes both men's and women's clothing. There is information on pouches, footwear, headgear, and anthing else that may be relevant. I have really enjoyed my copy. Written in English.
Gonzalez Mena, Angeles. Catálogo de Bordados. Madrid: Instituto Valencia de Don Juan, 1974.
Secondary with many primary elements. Wonderful book on Spanish embroidery. It is almost impossible to find information on embroidery in Medieval or Renaissance Spain. Written in Spanish.
