One of the most famous of all Renaissance lace-pattern books, a collection of designs for cutwork and needle lace made for the court of Catherine de’ Medici. Reprinted across Europe for decades, it spread the fashion for elaborate reticella and lacis and stands among the earliest printed craft-design manuals.
