Il spechio di pensieri delle belle et virtudiose donne dove si vede varie sorti de ponti cioe ponti taliati ponti groposi ponti in redeponti in stiora
A 1546 Italian pattern book by Matheo Pagano, produced in Venice for women needleworkers, presenting openwork and lace patterns (punto tagliato) as printed templates. The pages show dense repeating bands of geometric and knotted motifs, and a designer could draw on their rhythmic border strips and square-grid medallion layouts for pattern repeats and textile or lace-like surface design.
