[MR] Hey, assisi is NEAR perugia

[Betty Eyer]

I don't have a paper or book that is devoted to just
Sicilian textiles.  Most of the migration of
technology/art styles info is from books on trade or
art history papers on evolution of style.  But there
are sicilian items in books on other topics.  

I scribbled this one down from a submission in the
Sapphire A&S, (Heather?? Aelfwyn's sister)...but have
not yet gotten a chance to request it through ILL:
Trade and Traders in Muslim Spain, the commercial
realignment of the Iberian Peninsula, 900-1500,
