Abstract: The Austrian art historian Moritz Thausing (1838-1884) wrote: There are six woodcuts of Albert Du¨rer's black discs, upon which a symmetrical and concentrically arranged arabesque scrollwork of ribbons or festoons stands out in relief. These wonderful ornamentations are commonly called Du¨rer's ''Patterns for Embroidery''; in his Netherlands diary he himself calls them ''Die sechs Knoten''¿the Six Knots¿. By adding four corner ornaments to the discs, Du¨rer gave these woodcuts an oblong shape. His monogram was not placed on them, in the centre, till the second impression. The very same patterns are to be found in some old Italian copper engravings, but on a white ground, and bearing in the centre the curious inscription ''ACADEMIA LEONARDI VINCI
