A calligraphic writing book, apparently engraved, by the Paduan writing master Antonello Bertozzi, with additional plates signed by Sebastian Zanella. Each plate shows an Italian moral maxim or an alphabet specimen in italic script, framed by an ornamental border of lace-pattern motifs such as geometric lattices, rosettes, leaves, scrollwork and tassels. Some plates are dated 1604 and 1619. The text is in Italian and Latin and is not a lace instruction manual; the lace-like borders are of interest as pattern ornament.
