Derechef et pour la troisiesme fois augmentez, outre le reseau premier &

Hilaire, au Chef Sainct Denis, pres le Clos Bruneau. Avec privilege du
Roy. 1588.[1324]
This must be subsequent to the Brussels impression, as Jean le Clerc
has changed his address.
In the third edition, dorso of pp. 1 and 2, we have the addition of
portraits of Louise de Vaudemont and Henry III., with a complimentary
stanza of four lines under each.
In his Advertisement au lecteur, Vinciolo says that having promised,
since the first impression of his book, to give a "nouvelle bande
d'ouvrages," and not to disappoint certain ladies who have complained
that he has not made "du reseau assez beau à leur fantaisie," I have
wished for the third time to place before their eyes many new and
different patterns of "reseau de point conté que j'ay cousus et
attachez à la fin de mes premières figures," beneath which I have put
the number and quantity of the stitches. Same dedication and sonnet as
before. Privilege for nine years dated Paris, 25 May, 1587. "De
l'Imprimerie de David le Clerc, ruë S. Jacques, au petit Bec, devant le
College de Marmouttier."
1st Part, 40 ff., 36 plates, 27 of point couppé, two stomachers, and
seven "Passemens" de point couppé; the same lettered "Ouvrages" as in
the preceding impression.
2nd Part, 36 ff., 50 plates. The thirty already published in the second
edition, after which follow the twenty additional of "reseau de point
conté," announced in the Preface, consisting of "6 Quarrés, 2 Coins de
{481}Mouchoir, 2 Bordures, 6 animals: Lion, Pelican, Unicorn, Stag,
Peacock, and Griffon"; and the Four Seasons. "Déesse des fleurs,
representant le Printemps," etc.
These last twenty have the number of stitches given. (See Fig. 5.)
On the last page is an escutcheon with the arms of France and Poland.
