Greetings.

While it may not relate directly, in historical terms, to medieval
weaving and tapestry, William Eagleton's massive book on Kurdish
carpets includes an English-Turkish-Arabic-Kurdish glossary, IIRC.

I can check my library this evening and send publisher data and ISBN
so you can find and borrow a copy via inbterlibrary loan.

The bookstore of the Frier Gallery at the Smithsonian Institution in
Washington, DC had copies for sale, as of the mid-1990s.

There are some books, in Arabic, about weaving that contain
glossaries or wordlists, plus the late H. R. B. Dickson's unedited
edition of "Arab of the Desert" has several chapters on bedu weaving.

HTH.

I don't know of any glossary of Islamic textiles as such, but
R.B.Serjeant - Islamic textiles : material for a history up to the
Mongol conquest
(Beirut: Librairie du Liban, 1972) is a useful place to start for
linguistic queries in this field.
