In 1934 and 1935, Lewis Mumford and Marc Bloch published two very different pioneering works in the history of technology, Technics and Civilization and “Avènement et conquêtes du moulin à eau,” the first an ambitious attempt to trace the development of technology in human civilizations over several thousand years, the second a historical overview of the development of milling technology from Greco-Roman times to the end of the
Mills for grinding grain were one of the first kinds of machine to employ non-human and renewable forms of energy as their motive power. They were, therefore, amongst the first machines to be automated, and some of the first to be used in factory-scale production.

In the first part Lucas follows the development of milling from the ancient world to the late medieval period. Although the main focus remains on Europe, there are numerous references to milling activities and machinery from the Islamic world and China.

2017-1-17 Cotton, whose fibers are almost pure cellulose, was much less commonly grown in medieval Islamic times than was linen or hemp, as it flourished in only a few regions, including Central Asia, Iran, Palestine, and Yemen (Amar, 2002; Bulliet, 2009; Lamm, 1937). Cotton therefore played a relatively insignificant role in papermaking until the eighteenth century, when great quantities of Indian cottons

2008-5-22 Introduction. Watermills were a staple of some villages, most towns, and all cities from the ancient world onwards. Mills provided the power to grind grain into the principal processed food, flour, which fed society right into the modern period. And as populations grew, simple hand-mills, or querns, were unable to keep up with demand for flour.
The English Medieval Windmill. Windmills abounded in England from the twelfth century onwards. Terence Paul Smith describes how their bodies usually revolved on a vertical post so that the miller could face the sails into the wind. In the earliest Middle Ages milling where it was not done by hand using quern-stones (‘blood-mills’, as they
Milling. Milling is the name given to the process where grain is turned into flour. In the earliest times this had to be done by hand using a mortar and pestle to grind the grain into flour. However, by the Medieval period, most towns and villages had a mill.

2011-1-25 The new mode of milling was much faster and therefore more economical than stone milling had been. In the roller milling process, the grain is ground into middlings, which are then sifted by hand and reground. The extensive amounts of sifting to remove the

2008-5-22 Above all, the logic of the mill was the logic of water. Water made the mills run, and performed all the functions ingenious medieval and colonial millers could ask of it. In the 12 th century, Bernard of Clairvaux described the role of water in milling as follows: century:
