Linum et cannabis
aquis macerata
rursumque siccata sunt
contunduntur
et carminantur
separatur
cortices
et stupa.

 

Linum purum
alligatur conus
a netrice
quae girgillum rotatur
facit filum.

 

Fila dedunctur
in glomi.

 

 Restio
contorquet filum
agitatione rotulae
facit
primo funiculi
tum resticulae
tandem
rudentes.

 

 Textor
glomos
diducit
trajicit
et densat
pectine
atque ita conficit
linteum.

 

 Linteum
insolantur
aqua perfusa
donec candefiant.

 

Linteum si sordidentur
a lotrice
lavantur
aqua ac sapone.

 

 Sartor vel sartrix
discindit pannum

indusia

Sic etiam
pannifex
facit pannum
e lana
et pellio
facit pellicia
e pellibus.

 

Line and hemp
soaked in water,
and dried again are
crushed
and combed
separating
cortex
and fiber.

 

Flax
is tied to a cone (distaff)
by spinner
who turns the spinning wheel
making filament.

 

Filaments are wound up
into balls.

 

 Roper
twists filament
by turning wheel
making

first cords
then ropes
and at last
cables
.

 

Webster
balls of filament
unravels
interweaves
and compacts
with comb
and thus makes
linen.

 

Linen
is exposed to the sun
soaked with water
until white.

 

Linen, if dirty
by the laundress
is washed
in water and soap.

 

Tailor or seamstress
cuts cloth with
scissors
and sows
with needle
shirts
handkerchiefs
collars
caps

coats
vests
with buttons
trousers
stockings
gloves, etc.

 

Thus also
clothier
makes cloth
from wool
and
 furrier
makes fur clothing
from furs.
