Morning Modelbuch (8/23/2019) This page spread of prints dated 1563 from Francesco Calepino and textile samples have little to do with one another, but make me wonder what the rest of the book is like. Are there more lace bits? Which book is it? Francesco did some engraving on several books published by his father Jeronimo Calepino, including 2 by Iseppo Foresto. This one looks to probably be _Lucidario di recami_ originally published in 1557 (Lotz 94) The book is at the Minneapolis Institute of Art, accession number 21.367. https://collections.artsmia.org/art/228/tracings-for-fancywork-francesco-calepino A copy of Foresto at the BNF http://gallica.bnf.fr/ark:/12148/btv1b8622061d
