Critical Essay
El fondamento dell’arte, e di tutti questi lavorii di mano principio, è il disegno e ’l colorire. Queste due parti vogliono questo, cioè: sapere tritare, o ver macinare, incollare, ***impannare***, ingessare, e radere i gessi, e pulirli, rilevare di gesso, mettere di bolo, mettere d’oro, brunire, temperare, campeggiare, spolverare, grattare, granare, o vero camusciare, ritagliare, colorire, adornare, e invernicare in tavola o vero in cona. [così di seguito per la tecnica pittorica su muro] E questa si è la regola dei gradi predetti, sopra i quali, io con quel poco sapere ch’io ho imparato, dichiarerò di parte in parte

PUT CLOTH ON PANELS
dal The Craftsman's Handbook by Cennino D'Andrea Cennini: "Il Libro dell' Arte", translated by Daniel V. Thompson:
How You Should Put Cloth on a Panel.
Chapter CXIIII
When you have done the sizing, take some canvas, that is, some old thin linen cloth, white threaded, without a spot of any grease. Take your best size; cut or tear large or small strips of this canvas; sop them in this size; spread them out over the flats of these anconas with your hands; and first remove the seams; and flatten them out well with the palms of your hands; and let them dry for two days. And know that this sizing and gessoing call for dry and windy weather. Size wants to be stronger in summer than in winter. Gilding calls for damp and rainy weather.

the application of a linen cloth to the panel
Hi Nicole,
I don't know of a more succinct way to say this in English. Before gilding a panel, a piece of linen was glued to the wood, and then layers of gesso were applied on top of the linen.
I hope this helps, maybe someone else has a better way to say this...
