Nancy, Some other early lace books: I would add that LePompe II (1561 if I remember correctly) is in the public domain on the U. of AZ website http://www.cs.arizona.edu/patterns/weaving/index.html
Also on the U of A website is Elisabetta Parasole's Pattern Book for Embroidery and Lace 1616. Third book is Claire Burkhard's Fascinating Bobbin Lace. Sorry I don't remember the date off hand and my copy is currently packed away. If you're a member of IOLI, it's in the library.
