It wasbrought into Western Europe from China, via India, the Red Seaand Persia, and the first to weave it outside the Orient was a maidenon the Isle of Cos, off the coast of Asia Minor, producing a thingauze-like tissue worn by herself and companions, the materialresembling the Seven Veils of Salome. To-day those tiny bits of gauzeone sees laid in between the leaves of old manuscript to protect theilluminations, as our publishers use sheets of tissue paper, are saidto be examples of this earlie...st form of woven silk.
The Romans used silk at first only for their women, as it wasconsidered not a masculine material, but gradually they adopted it forthe festival robes of men, Titus and Vespasian being among those saidto have worn it.
The first silk looms were set up in the royal palaces of the Romankings in the year 533 A. D. The raw material was brought from the Eastfor a long time but in the sixth century two Greek monks, while inChina, studied the method of rearing silk worms and obtaining thesilk, and on their departure are said to have concealed the eggs ofsilk worms in their staves.
