Textiles / Clothing / Fashion / Middle Ages
German term or phrase: Schaulan
The text is discussing items in an inventory from the middle ages.

Ausnahmen sind fünf Lombardische Tücher, ein Leinentuch vom Rhein (chreuslinum de Reno), zwei Tücher aus Schaulaun (ii panni virgulati schalaun ad sedilia) und ein Seidentuch.

I am assuming Schaulan is the material, but I cannot find any google references or anything in dictionaries. Is Schaulan the same in English?
