These essays address various aspects of textile research, encompassing a wide chronological perspective and vast geographical area. They enrich traditional disciplines with innovative methodologies, such as isotopic tracing of provenance, textile analysis, digital motion capture, protein analysis, and exploration of textile expressions in texts and folklore. All essays have been written by international teams of scholars. They should serve as a comprehensive and innovative resource, consolidating the research outcomes and insights gained from the interdisciplinary exploration of textiles in European history within the framework of EuroWeb.
