A 1909 facsimile, issued by the Istituto Italiano d'Arti Grafiche in Bergamo as the first volume of a series of old pattern books, reproducing Federico Vinciolo's lace and linen pattern book in its 1606 Paris edition by Jean Le Clerc. An Italian introduction by Elisa Ricci covers the book's many editions from 1587 to 1658, its plagiarism in Liège, and its place among Renaissance pattern books, and a short bibliography follows. The reproduced text is in French: a dedication to the Queen, an address to the reader, and a sonnet. The plates begin with many cut-work (point coupé) lace designs. The second part holds square-grid (reseau/filet) and buratto darning patterns, including the planetary figures Sol, Luna and Mars, animals, seasons and handkerchief corners, with mesh counts given.
