As you know, finding modelbucher that aren’t yet scanned and paying to have them made available is one of the things I’ve been trying to do. Unfortunately, I don’t make any money doing the modelbuch thing (just spend it) and my budget only goes so far.
I found a copy of the last Italian/French book Lotz added to his list Fortunato’s _Le pompe di Minerva per le Nobili, e Virtvose donne_ at the Morgan Library and Museum. They are willing to scan the book, but it costs time and resources. The invoice I got for $470 is more than reasonable, but isn’t in my budget right now. Several of my friends suggested I ask if anyone was willing to donate a few dollars and let other help crowdfund it.
So, here’s the link if you would like to help https://www.paypal.com/pools/c/119501400523484755
