释义 |
Cameline is described in textile dictionaries as a coarse medieval fabric. The cloth of camel's hair is sometimes used in combination with other fabrics and made into a twill weave pattern or a basket weave which is finished with a soft nap. It is said to have been used in woolen clothing articles similar to cashmere wool clothing. Some authorities even think cameline is the same as we call today cashmere.[1][6][7] EtymologyMiddle English, from Old French camelin, from camelus, pertaining to a camel.[8] From Old Italian of cammellino, Middle Latin of camelinuw, also camelinus – a textile made from camel's hair.[9] Cambolism seems to be recorded in Old French and English as the same as cameline. It is described as a brown cloth supposedly made of camel's hair, similar to that of camlet.[10] Marco Polo records in his notes camlets made at Ninghaia with camel's hair in the 13th century. Chou Ch'il-fei in 1178 records of camel's hair satin camlets of many colors.[11]The name Camplin and Campling is defined as a wearer or maker of cameline.[12] HistoryCameline materials were made in the thirteenth century at Saint-Quentin, Aisne in France. Various types and colors were also made in the fourteenth century in Amiens, Brussels, Cambrai, Commercy, and Mechlin.[5] History records its first documented use in 1284.[2] The medieval chronicler of France Jean de Joinville recollects that "the king (Louis IX) sent me to Tortosa, and commissioned me to purchase for him one hundred camelines of divers colors, to give to the Cordeliers when they returned to France." In this recollection he says there was a wide range of qualities and prices.[13] He also records cameline camel's hair cloth being made at Cambrai and Amiens.[14] Such a clothing material is described by Geoffrey Chaucer in his 13th-century Romaunt of the Rose.[15] And Dame Abstinence-Streyned Toke on a robe of kamelyne, And gan hir (graithel) as a Bygyne. The cloth was ryche and rygt fyn, The champe it was of red kamelyne. UsageIn medieval times originally the best quality of the camel's hair was used to make rich and luxurious articles of clothing. The coarser type of the cloth was used for the covering of tents. This coarse cloth was also used in medieval times for the upper garments of shepherds and camel drivers along with a leather girdle. Camel drivers of today sometimes still use this type of clothing.[16] Wycliffe's Bible quotes Matthew 3:4 in Middle English as: A modern English version of this same passage reads: Wycliffe's Bible quotes Mark 1:6 in Middle English as: A modern English version of this same passage reads: According to the Old Testament camel's hair weave was made into cloth and the clothing referred to as cameline garments and worn by Persian priests.[21] 2 Kings 1:8 refers to "a man dressed in hair" which scholars believe to be camel's hair.[22] Footnotes1. ^1 2 3 Cole, pp. 54,55 Cameline (cam'-e-lin). A fabric used centuries ago as a material for dress. It is commonly said to have been made of camel's hair; but as it is repeatedly in old invoices mentioned as a cheap stuff, it is probable that it was an imitation of the genuine Eastern fabric. Some authorities think this fabric was identical with what we now call Cashmere. 2. ^1 Nunn, p. 28 3. ^Balfour, p. 558 4. ^English 18th century dances, Volume 3, p. 107 5. ^1 NAWM, p. 137 6. ^Harmuth, p. 30 Cameline: a coarse medieval fabric, made of camel hair in twill weave, similar to the cashmere. 7. ^Cameline 8. ^Hunter, p. 27 9. ^Whitney, p. 776 10. ^Barbosa, p. 63 11. ^Pelliot, p. 144 12. ^Reaney, p. 82 13. ^Planche, p. 72 14. ^Bell, p. 109 15. ^Dahlberg, p. 305 16. ^Packard, p. 129 17. ^Wycliffe's Bible Matheu Chapter 3 18. ^Matthew 3:4 (Wycliffe New Testament) 19. ^Wycliffe's Bible Mark Chapter 1 20. ^Mark 1:6 (Wycliffe New Testament) 21. ^Rivington, p. 468 22. ^Goodhugh, p. 241 23. ^2 Kings 1:8 (King James Version) References
