A short encyclopedia entry on the fuller, the workman who fulls, mills or scours woollen cloths, rateens, serges and other stuffs to make them thicker, more compact and durable. It gives the Latin origin of the word (fullo) and notes that Roman fullers washed, scoured and finished cloth under formal laws, with references to Pliny and Ulpian. It cross-refers to the entry on Fulling.
