The best I can do is point you to an article on wikipedia which seems quite informative:\n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transversalis

Sericulture, or silk production, from the moth, Bombyx mori (L.), has a long and colorful history unknown to most people. Although there are several commercial species of silkworms, B. mori is the most widely used and intensively studied, and techniques for its rearing are the most improved. This insect is the sole living species in its family, Bombycidae, and has been domesticated for so long that it probably no longer survives in the wild.\n\nTo be continued on....\nhttp://www.insects.org/ced1/seric.html

Try "The Once and Future King" by T.H. White. Dynamite book. It's a fictional account, but it's an excellent read. For non-fiction, try "Pendragon: The Definitive Account of the Origins of Arthur" by Blake and Lloyd. It's got a ton of Arthurian info.

I remember reading an article on it recently (past few months) - I think it was in Discover magazine.\n\nThat might be a good place to start.
