(At the end.)
Privilege for nine years to "Iean le Clerc le ieune, 'tailleur
d'histoires,' à Paris," signed 27 June, 1587. "De l'Imprimerie de David
le Clerc Rue Frementel à l'Estoille d'Or."
{478}4to.
The first part consists of 40 ff., 36 of patterns and 4 preliminary
pages.
P. 1. The title-page with decorated border, in which are two ladies at
work. (See Title-page of this work.)
P. 2. Dedication of "Le Seigneur Federic de Vinciolo aux Benevolles
Lecteurs," in which he sets forth that several authors before him
having published certain patterns for work that "les Seigneurs, Dames,
& Damoyselles ont eu pour agréable," he, to show "la bonne volonté que
je porte à la France, laquelle m'ayant été douce et favorable, depuis
certain temps que j'ay quitté Venize, païs de ma nativité," wish to
portray the present "pourtraicts d'ouvrages magnifiques tous
differ[=e]s, & non encor usitez en cette c[=o]tree ni aultres, & que
j'ay tenus cachés & inc[=o]gnus jusques à maintenant," feeling assured
that if the first you had seen "on engendré quelque fruit & utilité,
ceux cy en aporteront d'avantage," and if I see this my invention
pleases you, I will "vous faire participer d'un aultre seconde bande
d'ouvrages."
P. 3. Dedication "A la Royne," Louise de Vaudemont, by Le Clerc, saying
that having received from Italy some rare and singular patterns, and
"ouvrages de l'ingerie & en ay[=a]t inv[=e]te quelques uns, selon mon
petit sçavoir, j'ay pensé puis que ces choses là appartienent
principallement aux Dames," that he cannot do better than present them
to the Queen, as if these patterns are useful (as he hears some less
perfect and more rudely sketched have served and profited before), they
ought to be offered to her Majesty. Signed last day of May, 1587.
P. 4. A sonnet.
AUX DAMES ET DAMOISELLES.
"L'un sefforce à gaigner le coeur des gr[=a]ds seigneurs
Pour posséder enfin une exquise richesse,
L'autre aspire aux Estats pour monter en altesse,
Et l'autre par la guerre alléche les honneurs.
Quand à moy, seulement pour chasser mes langueurs,
Je me sen satisfait de vivre en petitesse,
Et de faire si bien, qu'aux dames je délaisse
Un grand contentement en mes graves labeurs.
Prenez doncques en gré (mes Dames), je vous prie,
Ces pourtrais ouvragez lesquelz je vous dédie,
Pour tromper vos ennuis, et l'esprit employer.
En ceste nouveauté, pourrés beaucoup apprendre,
Et maistresses en fin en cest oeuvre vous rendre.
Le travail est plaisant. Si grand est le loyer."
"_Morir assidouamente per virtu,_
_Non morirè._"
Then follow the 36 patterns set off in white on a black ground, viz.,
20 "Ouvrages de point Couppé," the first plate with the double [Greek:
ll], according to the fashion introduced by Francis I. of using Greek
monograms, standing for Queen Louise. On the second page are two
escutcheons, one of France, the other with the letter H for Henry III.
Then follow eight "Passemens de point Couppé," which are succeeded by
eight more "Ouvrages de point Couppé."
Part 2, 24 ff. Same decorated frontispiece and 22 plates of subjects in
squares for stitches like the German patterns of the present day. These
consist of the Seven Planets, Sol, Luna, Mars, Mercury, Jupiter, Venus
and Saturn. Four in squares of various designs; two of Amorini shooting
stags and birds; Neptune and the winds; an arabesque with impresa of a
column with circle and double triangle; five borders and squares, and
{479}two "bordures à carreaux," diamond-shaped meshes. The last page
contains the Extract from the Privilege.
This is the original edition of Vinciolo, of which we know but one copy
existing--that in the Library at Rouen.
It was followed the same year by two other editions, with
alterations.[1320]

1st Part, 40 ff. The same frontispiece, dedications, date, and sonnet,

first "Passemens" are here all called, like the others, "Ouvrages" de
point couppé. (See Fig. 4.)

This must be subsequent to the Brussels impression, as Jean le Clerc
has changed his address.
In the third edition, dorso of pp. 1 and 2, we have the addition of
portraits of Louise de Vaudemont and Henry III., with a complimentary
stanza of four lines under each.
In his Advertisement au lecteur, Vinciolo says that having promised,
since the first impression of his book, to give a "nouvelle bande
d'ouvrages," and not to disappoint certain ladies who have complained
that he has not made "du reseau assez beau à leur fantaisie," I have
wished for the third time to place before their eyes many new and
different patterns of "reseau de point conté que j'ay cousus et
attachez à la fin de mes premières figures," beneath which I have put
the number and quantity of the stitches. Same dedication and sonnet as
before. Privilege for nine years dated Paris, 25 May, 1587. "De

Peacock, and Griffon"; and the Four Seasons. "Déesse des fleurs,
representant le Printemps," etc.
These last twenty have the number of stitches given. (See Fig. 5.)
On the last page is an escutcheon with the arms of France and Poland.

[Sidenote: 1588. _3rd Edit. No. 3. Parts 1 and 2._]
A later impression still.
Same title, date, portraits, dedication, and sonnet, only the Privilege

This impression is dedicated to Louise de Vaudemont, now "Reine

The same title as that of 1595--differing only in date.[1327]
Privilege for six years, "donné à Mantes, le 3 Juillet 1593." At the
foot, "De l'Imprimerie de David le Clerc au Petit Corbeil 1606."
The 1st part has 32 ff. and 36 plates; 32 "Ouvrages de poinct couppé,"
and 4 stomachers.
The 2nd part 46 plates, same as those of 1588, only four less.

{482}The editions of 1613 and 1623 are described in their chronological
order. Nos. 64 and 71.
That of 1603 we have not seen; but M. Leber states it to be equally
rich with that of 1623.
The copies of Vinciolo in the Bodleian bear the dates of 1588, 1603,
and 1612.
Baron Pichon has a copy of an impression of 1612.
One at Bordeaux, in the Bib. de la Ville, is dated 1588.
In a book sale at Antwerp, March, 1864, there was sold the following:--
Lot 528. _Livre de Patrons de Lingerie dediè a la Royne, nouvellement
invente par le seign^r Frederic de Vinciolo, Venitien._ Paris, Jean le
Clerc, 1598.--_Les singuliers et nouveaux pourtraicts pour toutes
sortes d'ouvrages de Lingerie._ Paris, _Ibid._, 1598.--_Les secondes
oeuvres et subtiles inventions de Lingerie._ Paris, _Ibid._,
1598.--_Nouveaux pourtraicts de Point coupé et Dantelles en petite
moyenne et grande forme._ A. Montbeliard, Jacques Foillet, 1598. 4 tom.
1 vol. in-4. v. anc. fig. sur bois.
It went for 440 francs to a Mr. Ross. We do not know the editions of
1598.
As M. Leber observes, the various editions of Vinciolo, published by Le
Clerc and his widow, from 1587 to 1623, and perhaps later, are only
impressions more or less varied of the two distinct books, the one of
point coupé, the other of lacis.
The work of Vinciolo has been reprinted in several countries. In
England it has been translated and published by Wolfe. (See No. 72.) At
Liege, by Jean de Glen. (See No. 79.) Mr. Douce says that it was
reprinted "at Strasburg, 1596, and at Basle, 1599, with a second part,
which is rare, and sometimes contains a portrait by Gaultier of
Catherine de Bourbon."
In the Bib. Nat. (Grav. B. c. 22), a volume headed _Vinciolo (Federigo)
Peintre Venitien et ses imitateurs_, contains, with "La pratique,"
etc., of Mignerak (See No. 93), a German copy of the "nouveaux
pourtraits," the work printed by Ludwig Künigs, at Basle, 1599 (See No.
85); and a German work headed "Broderies sur filet," 50 plates engraved
upon copper.

New and singular patternes and workes of Linnen. Serving for patternes to
make all sortes of Lace edging and Cut-workes. Newly invented for the
profite and contentment of Ladies, Gentlewomen, and others that are
desirous of this Arte. London: Imprinted by J. Wolfe and Edward White,
1591.[1329]
EPISTLE TO THE READER.
Having framed a body of the best and rarest manner in true perfection
of sundrie sortes of deuises or workes, as well for frame-workes as
other needle-workes, I devised with all diligence and industrious
studie to sattisfy the gentle mindes of vertuous women by bringing to
light things never before as yet seene nor committed to print; All
which devises are soe framed in due proportion as taking them in order,
the one is formed or made by the other, and soe proceedeth forward;
Whereby with more {483}ease they may be sewed and wrought in Cloth, and
keeping true accompt of the threads, maintaine the bewtey of the worke.
And more, who desyrith to bring the worke into a lesser forme, let them
make the squares lesse. And if greater, then inlarge them, and so may
you worke in divers sortes, either by stitch, pouncing, or pouldering
upon the same as you please. Alsoe it is to be understood that these
squares serve not onely for cut-workes, but alsoe for all other manner
of seweing or stitching, noteing withall that they are made to keepe
the work or deuise in good order and even proportion--And even if ye
will that squares be greater, make of two, one, four, two, and soe they
will be larger. And in this manner may you proceed in all.
God prosper your desires.
Then follows the dedication:
To the Right Worshipful Gentlewoman, Mistress Susan Saltonstall, wife
to the right Worshipfull Mr. Richard Saltonstall, Alderman of the City
of London (afterwards Lord Mayor, and knighted in 1597).
It being my chance (Right Worshipfull) to lighten upon certaine
paternes of cut-worke and others brought out of Foreign Countries which
have bin greatly accepted of by divers Ladies and Gentlewomen of
sundrie nations and consequently of the common people; This seemed unto
mee a sufficient instance and argument to bestowe likewise some paines
for the publishing thereof, But being in suspense of the dedication two
causes induced mee to imbolden myselfe to present it unto your
acceptation and patronage: First because that rare devises and
inventions are for the most part more agreeable and gratefuller
accepted, than ordinarie and common things, although of great price and
value, Secondlie because these workes belong chiefly to Gentlewomen for
to passe away their time in vertuous exercises Wherefore to fit and
accommodate the dedication aright to the contents and subject of the
book I thought it not amisse to offer it unto your worship in token of
thankfullness for so many benefites which I have received so
bountifullie at your hands Assuring myselfe moreover that as these
patternes will bring sufficient contentment and profite to all
well-willers, that are desirous of this Arte, soe they shall for ever
acknowledge themselves to be beholden chiefly unto you, being the
chiefest occasion of the publishing and setting forthe thereof. And
therefore uppon hope that you will take these inventions in good parte,
which in time I am purposed (If God permit) to increase and augment
with more paternes of worke. In the meantime I pray God give to your
Worship a happie prosperous and long life with a full accomplishment of
all your vertuous desires.
Your worshipps most dutiful
Servant and Kinsman,
ADRIAN POYNTZ.
