[Artemisia] RE: silk textile links as requested

[irusan at iwon.com]

I hope these will be of help to the gentle looking for information on silk :

http://moas.atlantia.sca.org/topics/text.htm  (lots of links, unfortunately not as  user friendly as it once was and many links are closed to non-members)

http://www.virtue.to/articles/extant.html (mostly pictorals of fragments and clothing) 

Stefan's Florilegium
http://www.florilegium.org/files/TEXTILES/idxtextiles.html   textiles   (never hurts to check the florilegium if one has time)
http://www.florilegium.org/files/TEXTILES/silk-msg.html   silk specific florilegium

http://www.phm.gov.au/hsc/textiles/timeline.htm   very basic timeline some references to silk trade


Good luck in your quest, I am ever in favor of silk in any way shape form and century, 

Irusan
