Morning Modelbuch (9/4/2018)

These are from Matteo Florimi’s _Fiori di ricami, nuovamente posti in luce, nei quali sono varii e diversi disegni di lavori_ first published in 1590, the images are from a 1593 edition. I really like the unusual shapes. https://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b10548031q.r=Florimi?rk=493564;4

A lot of his printing output is gorgeous maps like the one of Cairo from 1572 that is the third image, so his decision to do modelbucher sort of makes sense. He published two different ones, Flori di Ricami was the first.
