La gloria et l'honore de ponti tagliati,ponti in aere. Opera nova,con somma diligenzia posta in luce
A 1556 Italian pattern book by Matteo Pagano, printed in Venice, offering designs for cut-work and needle lace (punto tagliato and punto in aria) for embroiderers and lacemakers. The pictures are woodcut strips of interlaced knotwork, scrolling vine and flower bands, and grid-ground panels, which a designer could adapt as borders, trims, or repeat patterns for textiles and surface decoration.
