MOROCCO, or Marroquin, the skin of a goat, or some other animal resembling it, dressed in fumac or galls, and coloured of any colour at pleasure; much used in bookbinding, &c. The name is ordinarily derived from the kingdom of Morocco, whence it is supposed the manner of preparing these skins was first borrowed. We have Morocco skins brought from the Levant, Barbary, Spain, Flanders, and France; red, black, yellow, blue, &c. For the manner of preparing them, see LEATHER.
