inventioni di bavari all' usanza nostra." In the copy (Bib. de
l'Arsenal, 11,955 _bis_) are added instructions to transfer the
patterns upon parchment without injuring the book. The last plate shows
how to reduce the patterns and how to prick them (Fig. 170). This is
sometimes given at the end of the first book instead of the third.
28 ff., 26 plates, two of bavari.
[Illustration: Fig. 170.
MANNER OF PRICKING THE PATTERN.--(Vecellio.)]
On Pl. 27, woman with a torch and Cupid. At Pl. 28, in a point coupé
border, is a fox holding the bust of a lady, the conceit of which is
explained by the verses to be, that sense is better than beauty:--
"Trovò la Volpe d' un Scultore eletto
Una testa sì ben formata, tale,
Che sol le manca Spirito havresti detto,
Tanto l' industria, e l' arteficio vale,
La prende in man, poi dice; O che perfetto
Capo, e gentil; ma voto è d' inteletto."

non mai più usate, nè vedute. Con privilegio. In Venetia, Appresso Cesare
Vecellio, in Frezzaria nella Casa de i Preti. 1594.
Same impresa of the stork and serpent.
Dedicated to the Sign. Isabella Palavicina Lupi Marchesa di Soragana,
dated "Venetia alli 20 Novembrio 1592." Cesare Vecellio. 30
plates.[1334]
{487}Vecellio, author of the _Corona_ and _Gioiello_, also published a
work on costume styled _Degli Habiti Antichi et Moderni_. _In Venezia_,
1590. _Presso Damian Zenero._ In the frontispiece is a salamander; on
the last leaf a figure of Vesta. It has been reproduced by F. Didot,
Paris.
He was not, as is often incorrectly stated, a relation, or even of the
same family as Titian.
These are the earliest impressions we have had an opportunity of
examining of Vecellio's works, which appear to have been widely
circulated. The Bib. de l'Arsenal possesses two copies of the _Corona_
(No. 11,955), from which we have described. In the other (No. 11,155
_bis_), Book 1 "ultima," Book 2 "quarta," are both dated 1593; and Book
3 "nuovamente ristampata la quarta volta," 1592. The plates all the
same.
The Library of Rouen (No. 1,315) has a volume containing the _Corona_
and _Gioiello_. Book 1 "quarta Imp.," Book 2 "ultima," both dated 1594;
and Book 3 "quinta," 1593. The _Gioiello_, 1593.
In the Bodleian is a copy of the three books, date 1592; and another,
date 1561, was in the possession of the late Mrs. Dennistoun of
Dennistoun.
At Venice, in the Doge's Library, is a volume containing the three
books of the _Corona_ and the _Gioiello_, dated 1593.
Mrs. Stisted, Bagni di Lucca, also possesses the three books of the
Corona, dated 1597, and the Gioiello, 1592.
At Bologna the Library has one volume, containing the first and second
books only, evidently the original impressions. The titles are the same
as the above, only to each is affixed, "Opera nuova e non più data in
luce," and "Stampata per gli Hered' della Regina. 1591. An instantia di
Cesare Vecellio, Stà in Frezzaria."
The same Library also possesses a volume, with the three books of the
_Corona_, the first and third "ottava," the second "quarta," and the
_Gioiello_, "nuovamente posto in luce." All "In Venetia appresso gli
heredi di Cesare Vecellio, in Frezzaria. 1608."
At Vienna, in the new Museum for Art and Industry, is a copy of the
five books, dated 1601.[1335]
Cav. Merli cites from a copy of the four books, dated 1600.
The various impressions, therefore, date from 1591 to 1608.
We see these different parts, like those of Vinciolo and all these old
collections, have been printed and reprinted independently of each
other, since the third part was at its fifth impression in 1593, while
the first, which ought to have preceded it, was only at its fourth in
1594.[1336]

par Jacques Foillet (|)|)xciix (1598).[1343]
Small 4to, 82 ff., 78 plates.
Frontispiece with borders composed of squares of point coupé.
"Avertissement aux dames," of three pages, stating these works are all
composed of "point devant l'esguille, de point en toille, en bouclages,
& de cordonnages." The writer gives patterns of roses of all sizes,
"very little, middling, large, and very large," with from one to nine
_pertuis_, or openings, holes. Also Carreaux in different forms, and
lastly _dantelles_. "Je n'ay voulu omettre de vous dire que pour faire
des dantelles, il vous fault jetter un fil de la grandeur que desiré
faire vos dantelles, & les cordonner, puis jetter les fils au dedans,
qui fera tendre le cordon & lui donnera la forme carrée, ronde, ou
telle forme que desires, ce qu'estant faict vous paracheverès
facilement. Enoultre vous verrez qu'estant bien petites deviennent peu
a peu bien grandes jusques a la fin. Elles vous enricheront &
embelliront vos ouvrages en les applicant aux bords d'iceux."
Directions, we confess, perfectly enigmatical to us. The author
finishes by exhorting the ladies to imitate Minerva and Arachne, "qui
ont acquis un grand renom, pour avoir (c[=o]me à l'envie l'une de
l'autre) travaillé de l'esguille."
The avertissement is followed by an "Exhortation aux jeunes filles." in
verse, of 21 lines, beginning--
"Si nuisible est aux humains la paresse," etc.
40 patterns of "roses," of point coupé.
{490}And 18 of "Carreaux," variously disposed.
Then follow 20 patterns of lace, of "bien petites, petites, moyennes, &
grosses," all "au point devant l'Esguille." (See Figs. 8 to 12.)
At the end: "La fin courone l'oeuvre." This is the earliest
pattern-book in which the word "dantelle" occurs.

EXTRACT FROM "DISCOURS DU LACIS."
"Ce chef d'oeuvre divin n'est pas à l'adventure
Mais par art composé, par nombre, et par mesure;
Il commence par un, et va multipliant
Le nombre de ses trouz qu'un noeud va reliant,
Sans perdre aucunement des nombres d'entresuitte,
Croissant, et decroissant d'une mesme conduitte:
Et ainsi qu'il commence il acheve par un,
Du monde le principe et le terme commun.
Si l'on veut sans faillir cet ouvrage parfaire,
Il faut multiplier, adjouster, et soustraire:
Il faut bien promptement assembler, et partir,
Qui veut un beau Lacis inegal compartir.
Mais se peut il trouver, souz la voute azurée,
Chose plus justement en tous sens mesurée?
Ouvrage ou il y ait tant de proportions,
De figures, de traicts et de dimensions?
D'un point premièrement une ligne l'on tire,
Puis le filet courbé un cercle va descrire,
Et du cercle noué se trouve le quarré
Pour lequel retrouver tant d'esprits ont erré.
De six mailles se faict une figure egale,
De trois costez esgaux, pour forme pyramidale:
Et l'ouvrage croissant, s'en forme promptement
{494}
Une autre dont les deux sont egaux seulement.
Si l'on tire un des coings, se forme une figure.
D'un triangle en tout sens, d'inegale mesure.
Le moule plus tiré faict les angles pointuz,
Et l'ouvrage estendu faict les angles obtuz.
De mailles à la fin un beau quarré se faict,
Composé de quarrez, tout egal, et parfaict,
Quarré qui toutesfois se forme variable,
Or en lozange, et or en figure de table.
La bande de Lacis recouvert, à nos yeux,
Est comme un beau pourtraict de l'escharpe des cieux,
Dont chaque endroit ouvré nous represente un signe,
Le milieu, les degrez de l'Eclyptique ligne;
Le quarré, des vertus le symbole, et signal
De science du livre et bonnet doctoral,
Nous va representant l'Eglise et la Justice.
La façon de lacer figure l'exercice
D'enfiler une bague on bien l'art d'escrimer.
. . . . .
Le lacis recouvert sert de filet aux dames
Pour les hommes suprendre et enlacer leurs ames,
Elles en font collets, coiffures, et mouchoirs,
Des tentures de lits, tauayoles, pignoirs,
Et maint autre ornement dont elles les enlacent,
C'est pourquoi en laçant les femmes ne se lassent."
In 4to, 76 ff., 72 plates.
Frontispiece: Two ladies, with frames in their hands, labelled "Diana"
and "Pallas." On the top, an escutcheon per pale France and Medicis,
supported by Cupids. Beneath, Cupids with distaff and winding reels.
Between the sides of a pair of scissors is a cushion on which is
extended a piece of lacis, a "marguerite" in progress. (See Fig. 6.)
Above, "Petrus Firens fecit, I. le Clerc excud." Below, "A Paris par
Jean le Clerc Rue St. Jean de Latran à la Salamandre royalle."
Dedication of Jean le Clerc "A la royne," then Marie de Medicis,
stating: "J'avois recouvré d'un personnage Anglois tres-expert en toute
sorte de Lingerie;" but who this Milour Mignerak may be, history tells
not.
Then follows the "Discours du Lacis," a poem, of which we give an
extract.
The privilege is signed Aug. 2, 1605.
The patterns consist of the Queen's arms and cypher, 4 Scripture
subjects: Adam and Eve, the annunciation, Ecce Homo, and Magdalen; 4
Elements, 4 Seasons; Roman Charity, Lucretia, Venus, and "Pluye d'or;"
6 Arbes à fruit, 6 Pots à fleurs, 30 Carrés grands, moyens et petits; 6
Bordures, and, what is quite a novelty, 6 "Passements faits au fuseau."
(See Fig. 13): the first mention of pillow lace in any of the French
pattern-books.

A scarce and valuable volume, the fullest edition of the second part of
Vinciolo's work.
4to, 68 ff., 61 plates.
It contains a--
SONNET AUX DAMES & DAMOYSELLES.
"Esprits rarement beaux qui fuyez la paresse,
Je vous fais un present qui la pourra chasser,
Quand vous desirez de gayement passer
Vostre temps, et monstrer de vostre main l'adresse.
Le present est utile et plein de gentillesse,
Il monstre les moyens de bien entrelasser.
Et faire au point couppé tout ce qu'on peut penser.
Cet exercise plaist à Pallas la Deesse.
Par ses enseignemens, avec l'esguille on fait
Des fleurons, des oyseaux, en ouvrage parfait,
Des chiffres et des noeuds, tels que l'amour desire.
Aymez cet exercise, et vous y occupez,
Et puis vous cognoistrez que sur les points couppez
En diverses façons quelque portrait se tire."
The author's address to the reader, and a
Dedication to "Madame, soeur unique du roy" (Catherine de Bourbon,
sister of Henry IV., married, 1599, to the Duc de Bar), signed by Le
Clerc.
On the second plates are her arms, a lozenge, France and Navarre with
crown and cordelière, and the same lozenge also surmounts the decorated
frontispiece, supported on either side by a genius (?) working at a
frame and point coupé drapery.
7 Scripture subjects: The Salutation, St. Sacrement, Passion,
Crucifixion, Adoration of the Kings, etc.; the number of the stitches
given to each.
2 Stomachers, and various patterns of "carrez " and borders. 2 of
"Point de rebort."
At the end is the "Discours du Lacis," already printed by Mignerak.
