leatherworker Explanation: nie wiem, czy to białoskórnik, ale podsuwam... "Leatherworkers were common laborers but their skills were in high demand. The crafting of swordbelts, clothing, saddles and even leather armor were necessary items for Medieval life." http://members.tripod.com/~hkcarms/oc13.html a jeśli to też o Islamie to: "From Baghdad's large urban population, for example, came craftsmen of every conceivable sort: metalworkers, leatherworkers, bookbinders, papermakers, jewelers, weavers, druggists, bakers, and many more" http://www.omarfoundation.org/Culture/Combined History.htm Reference: http://members.tripod.com/~hkcarms/oc13.html Reference: http://www.omarfoundation.org/Culture/Combined%20History.htm |

dresser of white leather Explanation: albo tawer "tawer \Taw"er\, n. One who taws; a dresser of white leather." [Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary, © 1996, 1998 MICRA, Inc.] Wersja dłuższa nie pozostawia wątpliwości, że chodzi konkretnie o białoskórnika, a nie zwyczajnego garbarza |
