Description
The papers in this volume derive from the conference on textile
terminology held in June 2014 at the University of Copenhagen. Around 50
experts from the fields of Ancient History, Indo-European Studies,
Semitic Philology, Assyriology, Classical Archaeology, and Terminology
from twelve different countries came together at the Centre for Textile
Research, to discuss textile terminology, semantic fields of clothing
and technology, loan words, and developments of textile terms in
Antiquity. They exchanged ideas, research results, and presented various
views and methods.
This volume contains 35 chapters, divided into five sections: •
Textile terminologies across the ancient Near East and the Southern
Levant • Textile terminologies in Europe and Egypt • Textile
terminologies in metaphorical language and poetry • Textile
terminologies: examples from China and Japan • Technical terms of
textiles and textile tools and methodologies of classifications
