Lvcidario di recami is a 1563 Venetian pattern book by Iseppo Foresto, printed by Ieronimo Calepino for embroiderers and lacemakers who wanted designs for needle-point and cut-work lace. Its pages show dense woodcut borders of scrolling vine, leaf and fruit ornament arranged in strips and grids, with grid guides that a designer could use for repeat patterns and textile borders.
