La vera perfettione del disegno di varie sorti di ricami, & di cucire ogni sorte di punti à fogliami, punti tagliati, punti à fili, & rimessi, punti incrociati, pũti à stuora, & ogn'altra arrte, che dia opera à disegni. Fatto nuouamente per Giouanni Ostaus. Vittoria ..
Published in 1567, "La vera perfettione del disegno di varie sorti di ricami…" is a pattern book that provided designs for the elaborate lacework and embroidery of the period. These pattern books were designed to be portable and easily handled, and many still bear the pinpricks of the pouncing technique used to transfer the illustrated design onto a piece of cloth. "La vera perfettione…" includes designs for lacework, embroidered alphabets, borders, and a variety of other natural and geometric motifs, as well as designs for entire scenes taken from mythology.
