A Little History of Damask:
Damasks were one of the five basic weaving techniques of the Byzantine and Islamic weaving centres of the early middle ages and derive their name from the city of Damascus which at the time was a large city active in both trading and manufacture. The word "damask" is first seen in a Western European language in the mid-14th century in French. By the fourteenth century, damasks were being woven on draw looms in Italy. (Thanks wiki lol)
