The site is in Norwegian, but the colored illustrations are in Italian. I'm not sure about the woodcuts other than to notice that the illustrations seem to copy them. Perhaps they were the original Norwegian, and some industrious Italian copied them into a book?

First, I can't read a word of this site. www.nb.no/.../html/italienske_tresnitt.html But it looks like 16th century Norse (?) drawings of clothing. Check out the pics near the end of women with pipes in their mouths and spinning in hand. At least, I think it's a pipe, it's a stick with fire coming out of it.
