A pocket dictionary of weave structures (Bindungen) for shaft looms, compiled by Franz Donat, a teacher at an Austrian technical school. The title page claims 4100 weaves from 2 to 26 shafts, printed in two colors, and the preface says it is an extract from his larger Bindungs-Lexikon of about 12,000 weaves. Nearly all of the book is point-paper drawdowns, two per page, numbered and labeled with repeat ratios such as 8:16 or 12:24:36, and arranged by number of shafts from four-shaft up to twenty-six-shaft weaves. The only text is the title page, a short preface, and a table of contents by shaft count.

A German-language instruction book by Franz Donat on creating fabric patterns through the colored arrangement of warp and weft threads, using two to six colors. The text covers mixed-color effects and pure color effects (stripes, cross stripes, checks, diagonals, figured patterns), then figured patterns built from compound weaves, motifs, double cloths and triple or quadruple cloths, with notes on color order, binding repeats and Jacquard card punching. About 76 plates present 580 weave drafts (Bindungen) with matching fabric-appearance drawings, plus the five fabric samples mentioned on the title page.

A trilingual (German, French, English) weave-pattern encyclopedia by Franz Donat, with 300 plates showing 9,015 weave structures (Bindungen) as black-and-white drawdowns. The plates are arranged systematically: plain weave, rib and basket weaves, twills (fancy, broken, zigzag, pointed), satin and sateen, diagonals, diamond patterns, crepes, damask effects, and figured ribs. Text sections include the preface, an index of plates, and explanatory notes on how crepe and other patterns are derived by shifting twills and diagonals. This copy is a black-and-white version of the book.

A 1914 offprint by Franz Donat analyzing two hand-drawn weaving pattern books from the Upper Inn Valley in Tyrol, dated 1658 (Thoman Lins) and 1701 (Matheus Berger). The first part explains weaving fundamentals: plain weave, twill, satin, derived weaves, looms, shedding mechanisms, and draft notation on point paper. The second part discusses the books' pattern types (plain work, symmetrical "hin und wieder" patterns, stripes, checkered/block work, and draw-loom figured work) with threading, treadling and tie-up diagrams for 8 and 16 shafts. It reproduces figured borders with eagles, animals, human figures, religious monograms, stars, and plants, shown on plates.

A trilingual (German, French, English) pattern dictionary of weave structures compiled by Franz Donat, with 300 plates showing 9015 weave patterns (bindings) as two- or three-color drawdowns. It opens with a preface and explanatory text on the plain weave, ribs and hopsacks, twills, satin and sateen, soleil, diagonals, diamond (chevron) patterns, crape weaves, sand crape, damask effects and pattern combinations. Most pages are plates of small drawdown grids, arranged systematically by structure family and number of shafts, intended as a design reference and source of ideas for textile designers.

A German-language textbook for loom (shaft) weaving by Franz Donat, a teacher at the imperial-royal weaving school in Warnsdorf, Bohemia, written for trade schools and self-study. It has three parts: weave theory (threading, tie-up, treadling, plain weave, twills, satins, crepe, compound and double cloths, piqué, matelassé, velvet and plush, terry, chenille, Smyrna knotting, leno/Dreher weaves), decomposition (analysing a fabric sample for yarn count, density, weave, loom set-up and finishing), and costing (calculation of selling price). It includes 57 colored plates of weave drawdowns, yarn-number conversion tables, and market price lists from 1892.

A German-language technical textbook on Jacquard weaving for textile schools and self-instruction, by a teacher at the k.k. Webschule in Reichenberg. It describes the parts of the Jacquard machine (frame, knife box, platines, needles, prism, cards, drive) and the types of wooden and iron machines (Vienna, Berlin, Krefeld, Lacasse, Verdol, open-shed, double-lift, two-prism, damask, double machines). It also covers setting up the loom (cord board, harness cords, heddles, tie-ups such as straight, point, edge and mixed lacing, lifting bars), card cutting, punching, copying and lacing, plus brocade and embroidery (Sticklade) lathes. Most of the book is machine description, with 44 plates of technical line drawings and tie-up diagrams.

A German-language textbook on jacquard weaving by Franz Donat, in three parts. The first part covers technology: the parts, numbering, construction and harness tie-up (Schnürung) of jacquard machines. The second part covers weave structures of jacquard fabrics, from simple jacquard, damask and brocade through double, triple and quadruple cloths, figured rep, piqué, matelassé, upholstery fabrics, tapestry imitations, brocaded fabrics, pile and carpet fabrics (Brussels, Tournai, tapestry carpets), terry, and leno/gauze (Dreher). The third part teaches fabric decomposition and calculation, with worked examples (towels, bedspreads, tablecloths, upholstery, carpets) giving warp and weft counts, reeding, card punching and hook allocation. The book ends with errata and about 36 plates of fabric samples, point-paper designs, cross-sections and loom diagrams.
