It is said that the work, named “Plumarium,” was made by the needle; and the Greeks, from the variety of the threads, called it “Polymitum.” “Plumarium dicitur opus acu factum quod Græci a licionum varietate multiplici polymitarium appellant.”—Robert Stephan. “Thesaurus Linguæ Latinæ,” s.v. Plumarius.
