ΠΕΡΙΛΗΨΗ

Silk manufacturing in Thebes began in the 11th century by local female weavers. From the early 12th century, with the arrival of Jews who were specialized in dyeing and processing raw silk, Thebes surpassed Constantinople itself in fame. There is evidence on export of silk textiles up to the end of the 14th century. According to coin evidence, the workshops found in Thebes were in operation until that time.
