There they function as texts-within-a- text. Etymologically, both text and textile derive from weaving. We read these textiles as complete signs that transfer meaning, as symbols whose meaning may or may not be interpreted, or merely as signals highlighting import. The quantity of textile references in Marie's minimalistic texts emphasizes their potential for meaning. In view of the fact that women were the primary producers of textiles until the late Middle Age. 588 0 Print version record. 590 eBooks on EBSCOhost|bEBSCO eBook Subscription Academic Collection - North America 600 00 Marie,|cde France,|dactive 12th century.|tLais. 630 07 Lais (Marie, de France)|2fast|0https://id.worldcat.org/ fast/1356040 655 4 Electronic books. 776 08 |iPrint version:|aGilmore-Hunt, Gloria Thomas.|tTales the Textiles Tell in the Lais of Marie de France : Weaving as a Signifying System.|dLewiston : Edwin Mellen Press, ©2001 |z9780773425972 856 40 |uhttps://rider.idm.oclc.org/login?url=http:// search.ebscohost.com/login.aspx?direct=true&scope=site& db=nlebk&AN=467278|zOnline eBook.
