Flax and hemp levies. The need for textile fibres from the Middle Ages to manufactures

• Languages of publication: CS

Abstracts

EN

The study deals with a hitherto completely neglected topic, namely the levying of spinning plants - flax and hemp, which was systematically collected from sujects from the Middle Ages to the modern period. Previous historiography has focused on the production of the end product, linen. The issue of actual cultivation, which was the responsibility of the subject population, remained unresearched. This study illustrates the newly omitted names of conscription benefits, as well as the importance of research on this issue, both in terms of so-called women’s work, agricultural history and the economic potential of textile fibre research. The study includes an experimental demonstration of flax cultivation in the Curia Vitkov open-air museum.
