Note 5 — TEXTILE FABRICS

Specifically, tartari was a costly fabric, heavily embroidered. Ducange considers that it came, or came originally, from Tartary. We read of it twice in the Chronicle of the Cid, and again, in the Chronicle of Ferdinand the Fourth:—“tiraron los paños de marhega que tenia vestidos por su padre é vistiéronle unos paños nobles de tartari.”
