A chapter by Arnold van Gennep (offprint from the Revue d'Ethnographie et de Sociologie, 1911) on card weaving (tablet weaving) in North Africa, based on his own observation of weavers in Tlemcen, Algiers and Tunisian ribbons. It explains the technique as derived from rope-making, covering twisting of threads through four-holed cards, chevron patterns, reversing card rotation, warp length, threading, the comb and loom types, and the number of threads per card. It ends with a distribution map and a discussion of the antiquity and origins of the technique, with comparisons to Lehmann-Filhès, Akhmim, Iceland, Caucasus and Swiss lake-dwelling finds.
