Bindoni’s 4th book, “Ricchezze- Libro Secundo” (Lotz 92) is available on the Louvre’s site. The book was published in 1559. The Louvre’s copy has a gorgeous binding thought to be done in Dresden in 1560 for the Elector Augustus of Saxony. It collects both of the Richezze sections and a third book. Im having issues figuring out how to properly search the site with inventory numbers, but searching Ricchezze will bring up all the pages. I’ve included the permalink to the book itself which has the cover and title pages. The patterns themselves are different entries.

I absolutely love this border of the 3 graces, but the entire book is lovely. Go have a look. https://collections.louvre.fr/en/ark:/53355/cl020598666
