Larruga tells us in his "Memorias" [vol. vii. 205], that the silk manufactures established at Toledo consumed in 1480 about 450,000 pounds of silk: they decreased about forty years afterwards. In the ordinances issued from that town in 1494, which were confirmed by the Emperor Charles V. we find that the following stuffs were made at Toledo:
"Stuffs of gold and silver which are made in the same manner as satin.
"Satins woven with gold.
"Satins brocaded with silk and gold or silver flowers.
"Silver serges with double filigree.
"Silver and gold materials, which are made like gorgoran or serge.
"Silver and gold stuffs which are made like taffetas, spring silver with silk flowers.
"Embroidered stuffs.
"Embroidered stuffs called silver serge, or berguilla.
"Lama, cloth of silver, shaded with silver watering.
