Hi Kathy
Cardon's book is excellent (makes me wish that I
was fluent in French!) and covers an region of
Europe that I have been having trouble finding
info on. It is a very thick (661 pages) paperback
with 21 references to Perpignan in the Index des
noms de lieux and one " perpagnani" in the Index
des termes techniques.. pg 514. I ordered my copy from Amazon-fr.
BTW. Perpignan was not part of France at the time we are discussing....

Hi Beth,
Ahhhh... you've just saved me a bunch of
headaches and time consumption. I am stronger in
French than I am in Italian! So the reference
only occurs in text outside of direct cloth manufacture, hmm. That's annoying.
Gar. This French book only shows up in a couple
of libraries around here, all of which charge
for the ILL. hmm.. unless I convince a local to
U of T to snag it for me and make a copy. My
husband is fully bilingual, I can bribe him to
at least look up the indexes for me and see if the references are any good.
Darn! And I was hoping to solve my issues with something easy!
Gee... I wonder if contacting a museum in
Perpignan might prove fruitful? I wonder if they
have something like that. *goes googling*
Aha. I think I may have something. The village
indeed does have museums (these are the
divisions most likely to have information useful to us):

I'll have to wait until hub is awake and in a
mood to be coerced into helping me to brew up a
contact email. We can hope they know what we are
talking about, or at least something that helps
clear up just what this stuff really is.
Onto a new adventure...
Kathy
