Second part of a French-language dictionary of silk manufacture compiled by Philippe Demoule from the Diderot and d'Alembert Encyclopédie. It reproduces the articles on velvet, taffeta, damask, brocade, brocaded fabrics, gauze (including gauze de Cos) and moire. The longest article, on figured velvet, describes the loom frame, cantre, roquetins, heddles, harness cords and treadling, and the others cover warp and heddle arrangements, treadle sequences, gold and silver bindings and fabric defects. No weaving drafts are shown, though some pages carry figures.
