It’s a trabacollo beginning of 19th century, actually if you know some book with how to do knots as well, thanks
Go to archive [dot] org. Enter the search string "ship rigging" and you will find a number of free pdf books from the nineteenth century that will give you almost more information than you can use. Warning: this material is so interesting that you may get bogged down and forget to eat! 
Many of these books are also good for illustrations of authentic blocks, etc.
Please do not use this knowledge to fashion scale models of conflict vessels. Please build models that represent joy and production, not fear and destruction. Please do not show war implements to children.

Hallo @Srdan
we wish you all the BEST and a HAPPY BIRTHDAY
How is your project on the Trabacul going? Maybe you want to show us....

It's good that such services exist.
This book has been discussed in the recent past. The drawings are very good but unfortunately the book overall is extremely limited as it is based on a single model of Melampus, a 38 gun English frigate of 1785 so not very useful for many things for earlier and later periods. There is no information on the sizes of masts, yards, ruuning rigging, standing rigging, blocks, etc.

I'm sure at this point SRDAN is totally confused.

I believe that Peterrson’s two books are based on copying rigging on models in museum collections. Unfortunately rigging on old models is subject to wear and tear, decay, and overly enthusiastic restorers. Few of these models have been studied to the point where anyone knows what rigging is original and what is not. A notable exception may be the extensive research by Grant Walker on the models in the US Naval Academy’s collection. Therefore, while Petersson, produced two accessible books, his primary research sources were flawed.
While Lee’s book is accepted today as the “gold standard” of modern sources, it is not useful for me as it focuses on large British sailing warships, not the smaller vessels that interest me.
My last rigged model was a rigged RN longboat (not one of the kit versions). For this I relied on two sources; Steel’s Masting, Rigging, and Sailmaking, and Hand, Reef, and Steer by Tom Cunliffe. The first, requires no explanation, but the second might seem to be an odd choice as it describes modern day sailing of traditional gaff rigged watercraft.
Old time sailors and sailors of regional craft had to use the same laws of physics as their more modern day counterparts. The difference is that they had to do so with poorer materials and less knowledge of aerodynamics. The value of Cunliffe’s book is that it describes in modern terms how gaff rigged sails are handled on small sailing craft.
Keep in mind, these old sailors were not supermen. What’s impossible today was impossible back then. Rigging has to be functional.
