Between 1909 and 1910 applied art researcher Elisa Ricci curated the reprinting of five 16th century pattern books. This volume, edited by Bianca Rosa Bellomo, gathers together the five books, including two articles written by Elisa Ricci:
VINCIOLO – I singolari e nuovi disegni per lavori di biancheria is a fairly rare book, printed in 1587 and reprinted many times (this is the 1606 edition). It shows beautiful drawings for laces, suitable for many variations and Net work and Filet.
OSTAUS – La vera perfectione del disegno per punti e ricami was firstly published in 1561. Patterns can be applied to different embroidery techniques but they can also be used by goldsmiths, engravers, weavers and interior decorators too. Elisa Ricci’s descriptions of different patterns are very interesting.
PAGANINO – Il Burato: libri de Ricami is one of the most ancient embroidery pattern books. Its exact publication year is not known but it seems not to have come out before 1527. The book begins with a few blank graphed sheets, followed by counted thread embroidery designs for Net work and then for different kinds of embroidery and lace.
VAVASSORE – Opera nuova universale intitolata Corona di Ricami was probably published in 1530. Many patterns are for counted thread works, some others are for various other techniques.
VAVASSORE – Esemplario di lavori: che insegna alle donne il modo e l’ordine di lavorare was published in 1530 as a follow-up to the previous book, due to women’s demands. The exquisite drawings are for counted thread work and for Blackwork.

Katika mwaka wa 1910 Elisa Ricci, mtaalamu wa sanaa, aliongoza kazi ya kuchapisha vitabu vitano vya karne ya 16. "Biblia ya Bianca Rosa Bellomo, iliyochapishwa na Bianca Rosa Bellomo, inajumuisha vitabu vitano, ikiwa ni pamoja na makala mbili zilizoandikwa na Elisa Ricci: ""Vincioli, singolari e nuovi disegni per lavori di biancheria"" ni kitabu cha kawaida, kilichochapishwa mnamo 1587 na kuchapishwa tena mara nyingi (hili ni toleo la 1606)." Inaonyesha michoro nzuri kwa laces, yanafaa kwa ajili ya tofauti nyingi na kazi ya Net na Filet. "Kama ilivyoandikwa katika kitabu cha ""La vera perfezione del disegno per punti e ricami"" cha mwaka 1561: ""Mapambo ya kuvutia na ya kuvutia""" Mifano inaweza kutumika kwa mbinu tofauti za embroidery lakini pia inaweza kutumika na goldsmiths, engravers, weavers na mapambo ya ndani pia. Maelezo ya Elisa Ricci ya mifumo tofauti ni ya kuvutia sana. PAGANINO  Il Burato: libri de Ricami ni mojawapo ya vitabu vya kale zaidi vya michoro ya kuchonga. Mwaka halisi wa kuchapishwa kwake haujulikani, lakini inaonekana haikuchapishwa kabla ya 1527. Kitabu huanza na karatasi chache tupu graphed, ikifuatiwa na kuhesabiwa nyuzi embroidery miundo kwa ajili ya kazi ya mtandao na kisha kwa ajili ya aina tofauti ya embroidery na lace. "Kama ilivyoandikwa na Vassallo, ""Opera nuova universale intitolata Corona di Ricami"" ni wimbo wa muziki wa zamani wa Italia." Mifumo mingi ni kwa ajili ya kazi thread kuhesabiwa, baadhi ya wengine ni kwa ajili ya mbinu nyingine mbalimbali. "Kama ""Exemplario di lavoro"" (Mfano wa kazi), kitabu hicho kilitolewa mwaka 1530 na kuanzishwa mwaka 1530 na kuanzishwa mwaka 1530 na kuanzishwa mwaka 1530 na kuanzishwa mwaka 1530.[1]" Michoro hiyo maridadi ni ya kazi ya kushona nyuzi na ya kazi ya kushona nyuzi.
