La gloria e l'honore de ponti tagliati, e ponti in aere, & ponti in stiora a fogliami : opera noua, et con somma diligentia posta in luce
A 1563 Venetian pattern book by Matheo Pagano, printed in Venice, offering lace designs of cut work, needle lace and flat lace for embroiderers and lacemakers. The pages are woodcut-style grids of black scrolling vines, rosettes, geometric bands and animal motifs, with the close repeat of lace panels offering a designer rich material for borders, ornamental strips and textile patterning.
