Morning Modelbuch (11/3/2018)

I’m cooking an ancient Roman feast today with a couple of dozen dishes based on Apicius and have very little brain power. So in lieu of trying to talk about anything, you can drool with me. Maria Medici’s prayer book. http://www.thedigitalwalters.org/Data/WaltersManuscripts/html/W494/ The technique is called canivet and was done with a small pen knife called a canif. The other major example I’m aware of has the letters of the text cut out and layers of silk between the paces to highlight the cutting. I may post that tomorrow. Anyway, dated sometime after 1625, papercut lace.
