Product Details:
Anna Neuper's Modelbuch

Author: Nancy Spies with Ute Bargmann

A small, leather-covered book of handwritten patterns for gold brocade tabletwoven bands resides in the Herzog August Bibliothek in Wolfenbtittel, Germany. Written in 1517 by Anna Neuper, a seventy-year old nun in the St. Clare Convent in Ntirnberg, it contains forty-five different patterns with variations and is among the earliest pattern books for any textile technique. These patterns have been transcribed into modern charts and are presented with background information by Nancy Spies with Ute Bargmann. This book is a must for every tablet weaver and anyone who can work from graphed designs.
