Manuscript illuminators used costume to place figures in the strict social hierarchy of the middle ages and to identify people by profession. monks, doctors, lawyers, knights, scholars, queens, and courtiers could all be recognized at a glance by their distinctive clothing. it would be a mistake to regard all illuminations as direct reflections of medieval dress. in chivalric romances, wealthy patrons sought images of a perfect world, populated with glamorous versions of themselves and even peasants that were too well dressed. according to this passage, is a drawing in an illuminated manuscript a good source of information about the middle ages? explain your answer in two to three sentences.
