Described in Cat. Cicognara with the date 1658. The first part 41 if. and39 plates; the 2nd with 3G plates.

The editions of 1613 and 1623 are described in their chronological order.

That of 1G03 wo have not seen ; but M. Leber states it to be equally richwith that of 1623.

The copies of Vinciolo in the Bodleian bear the dates of 1588, 1603, and1612.

Baron Pichon has a copy of an impression of 1612.

One at Bordeaux, in the Bib. do la Ville, is dated 1588.

In a book sale at Antwerp, March 1864, there was sold the following:—

Lot. 528. “ Livre de Patrons de Lingerie dedic a la Royne, nouvellementinvents par le seign' Frederic de Yinciolo, Venitien. Paris, Jean le Clero,1598.—Lcs singuliers et nouveaux pourtraicts pour toutes sortes d’ouvrages deLingerie. Paris, ibid. 1598.—Les secondes oeuvres et subtiles inventions deLingerie. Paris, ibid. 1598.—Nouveaux pourtraicts de Point coupe' et Dan-telles en petite moyenno et grande forme. A Montbeliard, Jacques Foillet,159S. 4 tom. 1 vol. in-4, v. anc. fig. sur bois.” It sold for 440 francs. We donot know tho editions of 1598.

As M. Leber observes, the various editions of Vinciolo, published by LeClerc and his widow, from 1587 to 1623, and perhaps later, are only impressionsmore or less varied of the two distinct books, the one of point coupe, the otherof lacis.

The work of Vinciolo has been reprinted in several countries. In Englandit has been translated and published by Wolfe (see No. 73); at Liege, byJean do Glen (see No. 81). Mr. Douce says that it was reprinted “ at Stras-burg, 1596, and at Basle, 1599, with a second part, which is rare, and some-times contains a portrait by Gaultier of Catherine de Bourbon.”
