Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book is a detailed introduction to the art of raising silkworms, for both the amateur and the professional. An old art originating in China, sericulture was introduced in the West, in the 6th century and perfected in Italy by the 13th century. The author, an Italian, was a leading sericulturist who sought to augment his native countryâs wealth by presenting this manual. This reprint of an English translation of his original book provides valuable historical context for the reader. The author begins with the natural history of the silkworm, the preparation of mulberry leaves for its sustenance, the management of its four moltings, its habits and behavior, and the diseases to which it is susceptible. After advising the reader on the proper construction of buildings and utensils for sericulture, the author concludes with a detailed analysis of the facts he has presented in the text. This book provides a window into an ancient agricultural practice that once occupied an important role in the world economy.
