A one-page French encyclopedia entry on the weaver (tisserand). It covers the historical association of weaving with women in Greek and Roman households, the terminology for weavers and weaving workshops, and the medieval Paris guild statutes of Etienne Boileau (1281). It also describes the working conditions of the modern linen weaver, including damp cellar workshops, and the decline of the village weaver.
