Volume 2 of Otto von Falke's art history of silk weaving, in German, with 400 illustrations, published in 1913. It covers Byzantine silks, medieval gold threads, Romanesque silks from Paris and Regensburg, the late medieval silk style shaped by Gothic and Chinese art, and the silk weaving of Italy (Lucca, Venice, Florence, Milan) in the 14th and 15th centuries. It then follows the main currents from 1500 to 1800: Italian and Spanish Renaissance and Baroque silks, French silk style of the 17th and 18th centuries, Empire fabrics, and Persia. Most pages are photographic plates of fabric fragments, vestments and related paintings with captions naming museum collections, accompanied by stylistic and historical discussion of patterns, dating and attribution.
