A French-language alphabetical glossary of silk-weaving and silk-manufacturing terms compiled by Philippe Demoule (edition of 5 January 2002). Entries cover looms and loom parts (including the Lyon hand loom and Jacquard mechanism), tools, shuttles and bobbins, warp preparation, silk fabrics, and the trades involved. Many entries are drawn from 18th-century encyclopedic sources, with other entries giving modern Lyon workshop usage. A few longer entries discuss treadle and heddle arrangements and manufacturing economics.
