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

conceive_v thing_n the_o easy_a and_o especial_o he_o that_o will_v learn_v this_o art_n he_o must_v not_o leave_v nor_o refuse_v to_o exercise_v any_o of_o the_o figure_n before_o set_v down_o but_o

have_v speak_v before_o of_o the_o open_a frame_n of_o a_o well_o with_o eight_o point_n or_o corner_n which_o be_v necessary_a to_o be_v learn_v how_o to_o make_v it_o before_o you_o make_v the_o

themselves_o only_o with_o the_o show_n of_o outward_a superficies_n it_o be_v very_o true_a that_o when_o a_o man_n have_v sufficient_o experiment_v practise_v and_o bear_v in_o his_o mind_n these_o inward_a hide_a line_n then_o help_v himself_o with_o the_o principal_a he_o may_v make_v many_o perfect_a thing_n without_o use_v all_o this_o labour_n but_o if_o any_o man_n that_o desire_v to_o

to_o set_v down_o all_o these_o measure_n which_o you_o may_v so_o plain_o see_v in_o the_o figure_n only_o it_o be_v necessary_a to_o warn_v such_o as_o be_v studious_a herein_o that_o what_o work_n

about_o a_o foot_n broad_a upon_o the_o step_n then_o let_v the_o square_a stone_n of_o this_o ground_n be_v a_o foot_n square_a therewith_o we_o will_v make_v a_o pair_n of_o stair_n of_o five_o foot_n high_a and_o three_o foot_n broad_a at_o the_o foot_n of_o the_o ground_n we_o will_v take_v the_o measure_n of_o the_o breadth_n which_o on_o the_o right_n and_o left_a side_n shall_v be_v

and_o the_o same_o perpendicular_a line_n which_o stand_v corner-wise_a from_o the_o middle_n of_o the_o four_o corner_a body_n must_v be_v set_v like_o parallel_n line_n on_o the_o right_n and_o

must_v understand_v that_o the_o two_o cross_n below_o in_o this_o body_n be_v the_o two_o centre_n to_o draw_v the_o stone_n of_o the_o arch_n both_o above_o and_o below_o they_o also_o signify_v the_o centre_n of_o the_o bow_n upon_o the_o horisentall_a line_n within_o the_o arch_n you_o must_v also_o understand_v that_o the_o black_a line_n do_v form_n the_o circumference_n without_o and_o the_o prick_n or_o thin_a lin_v as_o betoken_v the_o form_n within_o which_o be_v cover_v in_o the_o arch_n so_o that_o the_o arch_n do_v show_v through_o to_o be_v make_v of_o piece_n of_o the_o

that_o hereby_o you_o may_v see_v the_o manner_n thereof_o and_o when_o you_o make_v they_o great_a you_o shall_v find_v that_o they_o will_v come_v well_o enough_o to_o pass_v under_o the_o stair_n last_o name_v there_o stand_v also_o a_o round_a door_n which_o be_v five_o foot_n wide_o upon_o this_o ground_n and_o on_o these_o stair_n a_o cunning_a painter_n may_v place_v divers_a figure_n in_o

thus_o make_v first_o you_o must_v make_v a_o foure-square_a shorten_n body_n of_o half_a a_o foot_n high_a upon_o this_o you_o must_v draw_v two_o diagonall_a line_n and_o from_o the_o corner_n

therefore_o as_o i_o think_v at_o this_o time_n to_o make_v a_o end_n of_o my_o second_o book_n i_o begin_v to_o handle_v a_o hard_a matter_n which_o rule_n be_v only_o call_v a_o outward_a

foure-square_a contain_v in_o it_o another_o foursquare_a the_o which_o also_o may_v be_v form_v by_o the_o distance_n without_o horizon_n some_o man_n place_v the_o side_n of_o the_o fouresquare_n

and_o as_o much_o more_o as_o you_o will_v have_v this_o foure-square_a to_o shorten_v so_o much_o you_o must_v draw_v the_o distance_n from_o the_o horizon_n and_o as_o much_o as_o you_o will_v that_o the_o edge_n of_o the_o foure-square_a shall_v be_v broad_a so_o many_o bredth_n must_v you_o draw_v upon_o the_o base_a between_o a_o c_o twice_o draw_v all_o the_o termination_n of_o this_o

that_o you_o may_v see_v the_o ground_n thereof_o and_o by_o this_o figure_n you_o may_v conceive_v to_o how_o many_o thing_n this_o may_v serve_v and_o also_o how_o you_o may_v increase_v or_o

little_a near_o now_o to_o crest_n this_o body_n both_o above_o and_o beneath_o you_o must_v imagine_v the_o greatness_n of_o the_o crest_n and_o draw_v the_o same_o greatness_n both_o above_o and_o beneath_o the_o body_n then_o give_v the_o crest_n above_o their_o due_a projecture_n and_o from_o those_o point_n you_o must_v let_v perpendicular_a line_n fall_v to_o the_o point_n or_o corner_n

you_o see_v how_o the_o cornice_n stand_v without_o the_o foure-square_a body_n but_o this_o be_v only_o for_o cornice_n that_o be_v make_v without_o member_n not_o to_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

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

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
