I have roughly translated this and tried to make it easier to read:
23 Meisterstückbuch des Schneiderhandwerks Nittenau, 17th century Manuscript, 6 sheets, paper, quill, ink, closed H. 23 cm, W 17 cm, opened fol. 5v / 6r: coat and jerkin of the citizen woman, peasant skirt, dress of the farmer bride HA, WK Nittenau, tailor 1682 Cross-sectional drawings are “models” of garments.
Early examples can be found in the masterpiece books of the tailoring industry from the 16th and 17th centuries with exam papers to obtain the master’s degree.
In a hierarchical hierarchy, they show greatly reduced cuts of ecclesiastical robes, followed by men’s and women’s clothing for nobility, citizens, peasants and servants.
Inscriptions name the garments and their individual parts as well as dimensions, materials and quantities. The cuts are positioned on webs in the respective fabric widths and also served as a guide to economic trimming. For cutting one used original sized cuts.
The tailor constructed them according to the customer measurements taken with paper strips with Elle and compass and transferred them with chalk or soap on the fabric.
In addition, patterns of linen were in use, and at the latest in the late 17th century, one worked already with paper cuts.
The pattern book of the tailors of Nittenau (Upper Palatinate) was created when they were asked to set their masterpieces. They asked for the help of the tailors from the Bruck, seven kilometers away, who told them their own masterpieces in the booklet with the inscription “SchneiderInnung / Nittenau” by another hand.
The year “1600” was later corrected to “1608” on the title, another dating at the end of the dedication on the last page is no longer clearly legible (16 [00 ligiert?] 2). The clothes on display date back to the first half of the 17th century.
The andwerk books are important sources of historical clothing research, however, the long-term masterpieces often lagged behind the current fashions.
