Biblical clothing

(

)

... that anyone wearing only an under tunic or kuttoneth in Biblical times was considered naked?

Too many problems. Essentially a cut-and-paste from various sources over 100 years old, done by someone with an uncertain grasp of written English (I had to correct a basic grammatical error in the 2nd sentence). The sentence "By soldiers of to-day pointed shoes are worn over the sandals, affording protection to the toes in mountainous districts." comes direct from s.5 of an entry in the Schaff–Herzog Encyclopedia of Religious Knowledge of 1914 or earlier. The "religious clothing" section mixes up modern and ancient usages without saying which is which. The article did not make it clear that it deals only with the Hebrew Bible/Old Testament, which I will alter. No secondary sources dating to later than 1915 are used on the main subject. Far too few links exept biblerefs and pronunciation respelling key ones. A difficult subject for sure, but this is not ready to go on the main page. Johnbod (talk) 11:39, 26 November 2012 (UTC)
