| Summary | The article presents the study of miniatures of two Ostermanovsky volumes of the Code from a collection of the Library of Russian Academy of Sciences as the sources of Russian secular mail costume history. The detailed examination of these miniatures allows us to change the initial feeling of the clothes sameness, to distinguish its elements, to identify some costume complexes typical to people of different rank. It becomes clear, that color of the dress doesn�t depend on the person�s social status. The author comes to a conclusion, that the illustrators who had to represent such enormous number of figures, �sacrificed� those kinds of robes which, on the one hand, were in general use (and were well known to contemporaries), and on the other hand, were not visible. They represented the simplest in drawing and the most significant for personage social characteristics attires, headdress and accessories, trying to unify their images. The author takes an aim to find out the names of displayed clothes and whether the painters reflected costumes of their own period of time or that of 13�15th centuries, according to events narrated in Ostermanovsky volumes. For this reason these miniatures are compared to the other written and pictorial sources | ||
