used inadvisedly. What is one to think of such statements as the following : " Fabrics dating
back to a period thousands of years ago have been unearthed in England (p. 14). On the walls
of Nineveh, Babylon, Thebes, and the ancient cities of Peru and Mexico, throughout most of
the ruins of Assyria, Persia, Egypt, and among similar ruins of both North and South America,
is depicted the whole process of the textile industry, from the raising of the sheep or growing of
the flax to the spinning of the yarn and weaving of the fabrics " (p. 16).

124 H. LING ROTH.—Studies in Primitive Looms.

The following is the description of this loom as given by Braunius. It is worth
reproducing, quite apart from the rarity of the book and its inaccessibility to the
general public and even to students. 1

AAAA.—Loom, or ancient weaver's beam. An upright loom (Artemidorus,
Bk. iii, Chap. 36). Perhaps called " jugum " by Ovid on account of its shape,
which is not unlike a yoke. In what manner a yoke was constructed, and what
was meant by " sent under the yoke," may be clearly seen from Cicero, De
Officiis, Bk. iii, and Livius, Bk. iii, etc.

B.—Shirt, rounded and closed without seam ; seamless (άρρaφυs) as
was the shirt of Christ (John, chap. xix). Otherwise " tunica recta." (Isidorus,
Orig. Bk. xix, chap. xxii). This shirt is woven in an upward direction ; for
the weaving begins from the topmost thread CC and gradually works down to
D. (Herod., Bk. ii, Theophylactus " In Johannem," Festus Chrysostomus
" In Johannem Homil." lxxxv. Isidorus Pelusiota, Epist. lxxiv, Bk. i).
The shirt is rounded and closed from B to I ; then, however, it is divided to D
and E, as men's undergarments usually are to-day.
