In my Patterns from 16th Century Pattern Books book, there are double-running stitch embroidery patterns from various 16th century German and Italian pattern books, known as Modelbuch.
16th Century authors of the original Modelbuchs include Willem Vorsterman (1527), Nicolo Zoppino (1529), Johann Schönsperger the Younger (1529), Jacob Frӧlich (1556), and more.
