[MR] Vinciolo's needlework pattern book online

[Greg Lindahl]

I'm very pleased to announce that Lucrezia dei Bracchi, one of my
apprentices, has completed an online facsimile of Federic Vinciolo's
needlework pattern book _Les Singvliers Et Novveaux Povrtraicts_, which
dates from 1587. Vinciolo was an Italian who made laces for the King
of France. For those of you used to working off of modern-style
charts, Lucrezia has charted a bunch of the needlework patterns.
