Folio, (iv) + 297 leaves. Title printed in red and black with a large woodcut vignette demonstrating optical problems, full-page woodcut of the arms of Charles V, Holy Roman Emperor and the dedicatee, and numerous woodcut diagrams in the text. 18th century Italian(?) half sheep (spine neatly restored), unlettered, marbled sides, some wormholes in the binding just entering the first few leaves. Light browning (heavier in some gatherings) after aa1 which appears to be printed on different paper stock to the first 184 leaves, otherwise a nice copy. Early note of purchase for 15 soldi from one Bottero on front endpaper, small defaced library stamp in lower margin of title. Second edition, a reissue of the first of 1535 with the same collation, of the Perspectiva by the Polish friar and physicist Witelo who flourished in the second half of the thirteenth century. Considered the first textbook of optics written by a European, this was the work from which Renaissance Europe learned optics and the source for many optical texts that would appear subsequently. It influenced Leonardo da Vinci, Giambattista della Porta, Tycho Brahe, Galileo and Descartes among others, and was the starting point of Kepler?s study of the retinal image. ?While John Peckham?s Perspectiva communis was medieval Europe?s most used basic optics text, Witelo?s Perspectiva was the advanced comprehensive equivalent? There were several reasons for its utility. First, though following Alhazen closely, Witelo imposed a Euclid-like structure of theorems or propositions, including enunciations, definitions and proofs. This made the text more accessible and didactic; significantly more useful as a textbook than Alhazen?s De Aspectibus. Second, Witelo?s Perspectiva included a long first book that introduced all the plane and three-dimensional geometry that would be required to study the subsequent text? Third, Witelo?s Perspectiva included topics not covered in the De Aspectibus, including mirror foci, refraction by glass spheres, and atmospheric refraction? (DiLaura).

FIRST EDITION. Title in red and black with large woodcut, full-page woodcut arms on recto of second leaf, numerous woodcut illustrations throughout text. First 4 numbered leaves (following preliminaries) are in facsimile on old paper. Full blindstamped calf in an antique style. Overall a fine copy. First edition of the earliest treatise on optics written by a European. An extremely rare work, the text of which is derived from the optics of Abu al-Hasan (Alhazen). It contains not only a summary of all that was known on optics to the ancients and to Alhazen, but also some original investigations. Divided into nine books, Witelo first sets forth a number of geometrical theorems providing the mathematical principles required for the optical demonstrations of the remaining books. He details the essential features of optical systems, including the theory of theory of the nature of light and the propagation of light or visible forms. In addition to the nature of radiation, light and color in straight or refracted lines, and the treatment of images in various mirrors, a portion of the book deals with the physiology of vision. Very little is known of Witelo (ca. 1230-ca. 1275) other than he was born in Poland. This book, important as a source of Greco-Arabian theories on optics, had a great deal of influence on future investigators throughout all ages, including Regiomontanus and Da Vinci, Maurolico, Tycho Brahe, Galileo and Descartes. Indeed, Kepler based his entire study of optics upon it.

(4), 297, frontespizio in rosso e nero con splendida vignetta xilografica che illustra diversi fenomeni ottici; stemma araldico inciso a piena pagina del Conte Palatino del Reno e Duca di Bavaria, cui l'opera è dedicata. Numerose figure geometriche nel testo. Solida legatura coeva in pieno vitello fulvo, piatti ornati da elaborate bordure impresse a secco, titolo e autore "Perspectiva Vitellion" impressi a secco al piatto superiore, dorso a 4 nervi abilmente rifatto. Eccezionale esemplare. Scritta in inchiostro antico in alto al foglio di titolo, lievi aloni a poche pagine. Rara prima edizione di uno dei più antichi libri di geometria ottica, pubblicato da Petrus Apianus and Georg Tanstetter.Nato in Silesia negli anni Venti del XII secolo e morto alla fine del XIII secolo, il monaco polacco Vitellione (o Witelo), canonico di Breslavia, fu uno dei tre grandi prospettivisti occidentali, insieme a Ruggero Bacone e Giovanni Pecham, che studiarono la questione dell'ottica nel Medioevo, più precisamente tra gli anni Sessanta e Settanta del XII secolo. Studiò arti a Parigi e diritto canonico a Padova e trascorse un periodo alla corte papale di Viterbo.Il De perspectiva, la sua opera più nota, fu scritta intorno al 1270 su richiesta di Guglielmo di Moerbeke, un erudito esperto di scienze e filosofia naturale che aveva conosciuto alla corte papale di Viterbo. Vitellion si rifece in larga misura all'opera del matematico e fisico Ibn al-Haytham (X-XI secolo), noto come Alhazen, che ebbe un notevole impatto sulla nuova concezione europea delle teorie ottiche. Fu questo Peri optikes, del resto, a contribuire principalmente alla diffusione dell'opera di questo studioso arabo.Il trattato di Pecham fu effettivamente pubblicato per primo, intorno al 1482 a Milano, ma la pubblicazione di Vitellion precede di diversi decenni quella della Perspectiva di Bacone, che apparve molto tardi, a Francoforte nel 1614.L'opera di Vitellion è composta da dieci libri e tratta di teoremi geometrici, della propagazione della luce e dei colori in linee rette o rifratte, della fisiologia e della psicologia della visione, della riflessione dei raggi e della formazione di immagini da parte di diverse forme di specchi. Il libro X tratta specificamente della rifrazione, in particolare della visione attraverso raggi rifratti su superfici piane o sferiche. Dibner, Heralds of Science, no. 138.

Erstausgabe
First edition. THE FIRST COMPREHENSIVE EUROPEAN TREATISE ON OPTICS. First edition, rare, a copy with numerous early annotations, of the first comprehensive European treatise on optics, and the first work to contain descriptions of medieval laboratory instruments. Witelo (born ca. AD 1230) begins with the geometrical theorems required for the optical demonstrations of the remaining books. He details the essential features of optical systems, including the theory of the nature of light and its propagation, reflection by plain and curved mirrors, light, colour, perspective, the rainbow, etc. Witelo's principal source was the Optics of Ibn al-Haytham; the present text, Witelo's Perspectiva, is thus the first printed source for Ibn al-Haytham's work, which was not published until 1572 (when it accompanied a reprint of Witelo's text). "The most outstanding feature of Witelo's method was his combination of manual and technical skill with mathematics for quantitative experiments with instruments. An excellent example of the use of this combination in the construction of an instrument is his work on the parabolic mirror, with which Alhazen's writings as known in Latin showed no acquaintance . The problem was to construct a burning-mirror that would concentrate the sun's rays at a single focal point . Another important example of Witelo's method is his work on the measurement of the angles of refraction at the surfaces between air and water, air and glass, and glass and water, respectively . [Witelo gave a detailed account] of the construction of [an] instrument for measuring the angle between incident and emergent rays . Witelo used this instrument to show that not only white light, but also colours travelled in straight lines in a single uniform medium . Having given an account of the refraction of light at different surfaces, Witelo went on to discuss the properties of convex and concave lenses . A more successful application of his knowledge of refraction was his study of the rainbow . The only source of knowledge of the rainbow he acknowledged by name was Aristotle's Meteorology, but his chapters contain much that is not in this work . In the atmosphere he held that drops of water would condense as spheres . Rays from the sun would meet the drops on the outside of the mist; and, of the rays falling on each drop, some would be reflected and some would be refracted . as by a spherical lens . The rainbow would be seen in the rays which, after going out from the sun to the mist in one cone, were reflected back to the eye of the observer on a shorter cone with the same base and axis . [Witelo tested his theory] by means of experiments with refraction through crystals and spherical vessels filled with water . [Witelo] made some admirably original observations on the more purely psychological aspects of vision. These related chiefly to direct perception and the effects of association and reasoning on vision, and such problems as illusions, visual beauty, and the perception of distance and size and of the third dimension of space" (Crombie). This work remained an important textbook for over 300 years: it had a great impact on the works of Regiomontanus, Leonardo da Vinci and Copernicus, and was the basis of Kepler's Ad Vitellionem paralipomena of 1604.

Provenance: TheChurch of Santa Maria al Monte dei Cappuccini in Turin (inscription on title 'S[anta] Maria Conventus Montis Capuchine Fratrum Minor (conformator?)'). Numerous marginalia in a different hand by a careful and attentive reader highlighting the text (slightly cropped, indicating they were made before the work was bound). "By far the most important optical treatise in Witelo's day was Ibn al-Haytham's Optics or De aspectibus, rendered into Latin by an unidentified translator late in the twelfth or early in the thirteenth century. Although Witelo never refers to Ibn al-Haytham by name, there can be no doubt that the latter was his chief source: Witelo normally treats the same topics in the same fashion and sometimes even in the same words; occasionally he omits or inserts a topic, and often he seeks to clarify or supplement one of Ibn al-Haytham's points by further elaboration or an improved demonstration, but in very few respects does he escape the general framework inherited through the latter's Optics. "Yet other influences are evident. It is beyond dispute that Witelo used the Optica of Ptolemy, whose table of refraction he reproduces; the Catoptrica of Hero, whose principle of minimum distance he employs to explain reflection at equal angles: and the De speculis comburentibus (anonymous in the thirteenth century. but now attributed to Ibn al-Haytham), from which he drew his analysis of paraboloidal mirrors. There can be little doubt that he also was familiar with the widely circulated Optica (De visu) of Euclid, Catoptrica (De speculis) of Pseudo-euclid, De aspectibus of al-KindÄ«, and the physiological and psychological works of Galen, Hunayn ibn IshÄ q, Ibn SÄ«na; and Ibn Rushd. As for Latin authors, Alexander Birkenmajer has argued that Witelo was strongly infuenced by Robert Grosseteste's De lineis angulis et figuris and Roger Bacon's De multiplicatione specierum. In addition, it is certain that he knew Bacon's Opus maius and possible that he knew John Pecham's Perspectiva communis. Witelo also relied on a number of ancient mathematical works, including those of Euclid and Apollonius, and perhaps of Eutocius, Archimedes, Theon of Alexandria, and Pappus. "Witelo's Perspectiva is an immense folio volume . The scope of the Perspectiva is.
