Lotz 137b. This is a facsimile of a 1598 pattern book that apparently was published simultaneously in French and German. The patterns are for cutwork, reticella and punto-in-aria type lace. While there are some lovely elaborate designs in here, there are also many relatively simple ones, which makes this a better starting place for someone interested in learning this type of needlework, than the more readily available Vinciolo.
