A59260	A book of perspective & geometry, being the ABC, and first degree of all good art The learning of which comprehendeth in it many notable arts, needfull and necessary for every artificer and workman. For as no perspective workman can make any work without architecture, so neither can the architecture without perspective. Which perspective is inspection or looking into by shortning of the sight, making it to shew further then in effect it is. ... And seing [sic] perspective art is nothing without geometry, they are both bound together, that the workman may be able to aide and help himselfe therewith. And forasmuch as the hand cannot effect the understanding of the mind, I shall not please thereby such as are curious, yet at least I shall help yong beginners that know little or nothing thereof. This second book of architecture made by Sebastian Serly, entreating of perspective, touching the superficies, translated out of Itallian into Dutch, and out of Dutch into English, ...; Tutte l'opere d'architettura. Book 2. English	Serlio, Sebastiano, 1475-1554.	1657 (1657)	Wing S2623; ESTC R223996	29,522	24

the_o horizon_n nevertheless_o that_o you_o may_v the_o better_o be_v instruct_v touch_v the_o former_a of_o these_o house_n i_o have_v here_o set_v down_o a_o figure_n for_o satisfaction_n of_o those_o that_o take_v pleasure_n therein_o but_o because_o this_o figure_n be_v so_o small_a therein_o i_o can_v not_o observe_v all_o the_o measure_n but_o refer_v they_o to_o invention_n that_o thereby_o you_o may_v choose_v or_o make_v house_n which_o show_v well_o as_o a_o open_a gallery_n or_o lodge_v through_o the_o which_o you_o may_v see_v another_o house_n the_o hang_n over_o or_o shoot_v out_o show_v well_o in_o shorten_v work_n and_o some_o cornice_n cut_v out_o at_o the_o end_n accompany_v with_o some_o other_o that_o be_v paint_v show_v well_o in_o work_n so_o do_v the_o house_n which_o have_v great_a bear_v out_o like_o lodging_n or_o chamber_n for_o man_n and_o especial_o above_o all_o thing_n you_o must_v set_v the_o small_a house_n before_o that_o you_o may_v see_v other_o house_n over_o or_o above_o they_o as_o you_o see_v it_o here_o above_o the_o bawdy_a house_n for_o if_o you_o place_v the_o great_a before_o and_o the_o rest_n behind_o still_o lessen_v than_o the_o place_n of_o the_o scene_n will_v not_o be_v so_o well_o fill_v and_o although_o these_o thing_n upon_o the_o one_o side_n be_v make_v all_o upon_o one_o floor_n nevertheless_o for_o that_o you_o place_v great_a part_n of_o the_o light_n in_o the_o middle_n hang_v over_o the_o scene_n or_o scaffold_n therefore_o it_o will_v frand_v better_o if_o the_o floor_n in_o the_o midst_n be_v take_v away_o and_o all_o the_o roundell_n and_o quadrant_n which_o you_o see_v in_o the_o building_n they_o be_v artificial_a light_n cut_v through_o of_o divers_a colour_n which_o to_o make_v i_o will_v show_v the_o manner_n in_o the_o last_o of_o this_o book_n the_o window_n which_o stand_v before_o be_v good_a to_o be_v make_v of_o glass_n or_o paper_n with_o light_n behind_o they_o but_o if_o i_o shall_v here_o write_v all_o that_o i_o know_v to_o serve_v for_o this_o work_n it_o will_v be_v overlong_o to_o rehearse_v therefore_o i_o refer_v that_o to_o the_o wit_n and_o discretion_n of_o those_o that_o exercise_n and_o practice_v themselves_o herein_o 48_o house_n for_o tragedy_n must_v be_v make_v for_o great_a personage_n for_o that_o action_n of_o love_n strange_a adventure_n and_o cruel_a murder_n as_o you_o read_v in_o ancient_a and_o modern_a tragedy_n happen_v always_o in_o the_o house_n of_o great_a lord_n duke_n prince_n and_o king_n therefore_o in_o such_o case_n you_o must_v make_v none_o but_o stately_a house_n as_o you_o see_v it_o here_o in_o this_o figure_n wherein_o for_o that_o it_o be_v so_o small_a i_o can_v make_v no_o princely_a palace_n but_o it_o be_v sufficient_a for_o the_o workman_n to_o see_v the_o manner_n thereof_o whereby_o he_o may_v help_v himself_o as_o time_n and_o place_n serve_v and_o as_o i_o say_v in_o the_o comical_a he_o must_v always_o study_v to_o please_v the_o eye_n of_o the_o beholder_n and_o forget_v not_o himself_o so_o much_o as_o to_o set_v a_o small_a build_n in_o stead_n of_o a_o great_a for_o the_o reason_n aforesaid_a and_o for_o that_o i_o have_v make_v all_o my_o scene_n of_o lath_n cover_v over_o with_o linen_n yet_o sometime_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o make_v some_o thing_n rise_v or_o boss_v out_o which_o be_v to_o be_v make_v of_o wood_n like_o the_o house_n on_o the_o left_a side_n whereof_o the_o pillar_n although_o they_o shorten_v stand_v all_o upon_o one_o base_a with_o some_o stair_n all_o cover_v over_o with_o cloth_n the_o cornice_n bear_v out_o which_o you_o must_v observe_v to_o the_o middle_a part_n but_o to_o give_v place_n to_o the_o gallery_n you_o must_v set_v the_o other_o shorten_v cloth_n somewhat_o backward_o and_o make_v a_o cornice_n above_o it_o as_o you_o see_v and_o that_o which_o i_o speak_v of_o these_o building_n you_o must_v understand_v of_o all_o the_o the_o rest_n but_o in_o the_o building_n which_o stand_v far_o backward_o the_o paint_v work_n must_v supply_v the_o place_n by_o shadow_n without_o any_o bear_n out_o touch_v the_o artificial_a light_n i_o have_v speak_v thereof_o in_o the_o comical_a work_n all_o that_o you_o make_v above_o the_o roof_n stick_v out_o as_o chimney_n tower_n pyramid_n oblisce_n and_o other_o such_o like_a thing_n or_o image_n you_o must_v make_v they_o all_o of_o th●n_a board_n cut_v out_o round_o and_o well_o colour_v but_o if_o you_o make_v any_o flat_a building_n they_o must_v stand_v somewhat_o far_o inward_a that_o you_o may_v not_o see_v they_o on_o the_o side_n in_o these_o scene_n although_o some_o have_v paint_v personage_n therein_o like_o supporter_n as_o in_o a_o gallery_n or_o do_v r_o as_o a_o dog_n cat_n or_o any_o other_o beast_n i_o be_o not_o of_o that_o opinion_n for_o that_o stand_v too_o long_o without_o stir_v or_o move_v but_o if_o you_o make_v such_o a_o thing_n to_o lie_v sleep_v that_o i_o hold_v withal_o you_o may_v also_o make_v image_n history_n or_o fable_n of_o marble_n or_o other_o matter_n against_o a_o wall_n but_o to_o represent_v the_o life_n they_o ought_v to_o stir_v in_o the_o latter_a end_n of_o this_o book_n i_o will_v show_v you_o how_o to_o make_v they_o 49_o the_o satirical_a scene_n be_v to_o represent_v satyr_n wherein_o you_o must_v place_v all_o those_o thing_n that_o be_v rude_a and_o rustical_a as_o in_o ancient_a satyr_n they_o be_v make_v plain_a without_o any_o respect_n whereby_o man_n may_v understand_v that_o such_o thing_n be_v refer_v to_o rustical_a people_n which_o set_v all_o thing_n out_o rude_o and_o plain_o for_o which_o cause_n vitruvius_n speak_v of_o scene_n say_v they_o shall_v be_v make_v with_o tree_n root_n herb_n hill_n and_o flower_n and_o with_o some_o country_n house_n as_o you_o see_v they_o here_o set_v down_o and_o for_o that_o in_o our_o day_n these_o thing_n be_v make_v in_o winter_n when_o there_o be_v but_o few_o green_a tree_n herb_n and_o flower_n to_o be_v find_v then_o you_o must_v make_v these_o thing_n of_o silk_n which_o will_v be_v more_o commendable_a than_o the_o natural_a thing_n themselves_o and_o as_o in_o other_o scene_n for_o comedy_n or_o tragedy_n the_o house_n or_o other_o artificial_a thing_n be_v paint_v so_o you_o must_v make_v tree_n herb_n and_o other_o thing_n in_o these_o and_o the_o more_o such_o thing_n cost_v the_o more_o they_o be_v esteem_v for_o they_o be_v thing_n which_o stately_a and_o great_a
