Francisque-Michel's Recherches sur le commerce, la fabrication et l’usage des étoffes de soie, d’or et d’argent et autres tissus précieux en Occident principalement en France pendant le Moyen Age is one of the most important and rarest books on the history of textiles. This work can be considered as an "incunabulum" of the textile literature; one of the very earliest European scholarly works on the history of textiles.
