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

you_o must_v draw_v the_o parallel_n over_o that_o thereby_o the_o sixteen_o quadrant_n may_v be_v form_v but_o if_o you_o will_v set_v other_o quadrant_n upon_o it_o than_o as_o aforesaid_a you_o

make_v these_o light_n shine_v through_o of_o divers_a colour_n and_o first_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o a_o sure_a colour_n which_o be_v like_o a_o to_o zaphir_n and_o yet_o somewhat_o fair_o take_v a_o

always_o put_v more_o water_n unto_o it_o as_o you_o desire_v to_o have_v it_o light_n or_o sad_a colour_n which_o do_v if_o you_o will_v have_v it_o fair_a and_o clear_a then_o strain_v it_o through_o a_o fine_a cloth_n into_o another_o vessel_n and_o then_o it_o will_v be_v a_o clear_a celestial_a blue_a whereof_o you_o may_v make_v divers_a kind_n of_o blue_a with_o water_n will_v you_o make_v a_o emerald_n colour_n then_o put_v some_o saffron_n as_o you_o will_v have_v it_o pale_a or_o high_a colour_a for_o here_o it_o be_v not_o necessary_a to_o prescribe_v you_o any_o weight_n or_o measure_n for_o that_o experience_n will_v teach_v you_o how_o to_o do_v it_o if_o you_o will_v make_v a_o rubby_a colour_n if_o you_o be_v in_o a_o place_n where_o you_o may_v have_v red_a wine_n than_o you_o need_v not_o use_v any_o other_o thing_n but_o to_o make_v it_o pall_v with_o water_n as_o need_n require_v but_o if_o you_o can_v get_v no_o wine_n then_o take_v brasill_n beat_v to_o powder_n and_o put_v it_o into_o a_o kettell_n of_o water_n with_o alum_n let_v it_o see_v and_o scum_v it_o well_o then_o strain_v it_o and_o use_v it_o with_o water_n and_o vinegar_n if_o you_o will_v counterfeit_v a_o ballay_v you_o must_v make_v it_o of_o red_a and_o white_a wine_n mingle_v together_o but_o white_a wine_n alone_o will_v show_v like_o a_o topaz_n or_o a_o crisolite_n the_o conduit_n or_o common_a water_n be_v strain_v will_v be_v like_o a_o diamond_n and_o to_o do_v this_o well_o you_o must_v upon_o a_o glassy_a ground_n frame_v certain_a point_n or_o tablet_n and_o fill_v they_o with_o water_n the_o manner_n to_o set_v these_o shine_a colour_n in_o their_o place_n be_v thus_o behind_o the_o paint_a house_n wherein_o these_o paint_a colour_n shall_v stand_v you_o must_v set_v a_o thin_a board_n cut_v out_o in_o the_o same_o manner_n that_o these_o light_n shall_v be_v place_v whether_o it_o be_v round_o or_o square_a corner_a of_o ovale_n like_o a_o egg_n

with_o the_o hole_n on_o the_o shorten_n side_n but_o if_o you_o need_v a_o great_a light_n to_o show_v more_o than_o the_o rest_n than_o set_v a_o torch_n behind_o and_o behind_o the_o torch_n a_o bright_a basin_n the_o brightness_n whereof_o will_v show_v like_o the_o beam_n of_o the_o sun_n you_o may_v also_o make_v glass_n of_o all_o colour_n and_o form_n some_o foure-square_a some_o with_o

for_o you_o must_v have_v a_o great_a number_n of_o torch_n before_o the_o scene_n you_o may_v also_o place_v certain_a candlestick_n above_o the_o scene_n with_o great_a candle_n therein_o and_o
