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

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 piece_n of_o salamoniack_a and_o put_v it_o into_o a_o barber_n basin_n or_o such_o like_a thing_n and_o put_v water_n into_o it_o then_o bruise_v it_o soft_o therein_o till_o it_o be_v all_o melt_a 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 and_o behind_o the_o same_o board_n there_o shall_v be_v another_o strong_a board_n lay_v flat_a behind_o they_o for_o the_o bottle_n and_o other_o manner_n of_o glass_n with_o these_o water_n to_o stand_v in_o must_v be_v place_v against_o the_o hole_n as_o it_o shall_v necessary_o fall_v out_o but_o they_o must_v be_v set_v fast_o lest_o they_o fall_v with_o leap_v and_o dance_v of_o the_o moriscoe_n and_o behind_o the_o glass_n you_o must_v set_v great_a lamp_n that_o the_o light_n may_v also_o be_v steadfast_a and_o if_o the_o bottle_n or_o other_o vessel_n of_o glass_n on_o the_o side_n where_o the_o light_n stand_v be_v flat_a or_o rather_o hollow_a it_o will_v rather_o show_v the_o clear_a and_o the_o colour_n most_o excellent_a and_o fair_a the_o like_a must_v be_v do_v 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 cross_n and_o any_o other_o form_n with_o their_o light_n behind_o they_o now_o all_o the_o light_n serve_v for_o the_o colour_n shall_v not_o be_v the_o same_o which_o must_v light_v the_o scene_n 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 above_o the_o candlestick_n you_o may_v place_v some_o vessel_n with_o water_n wherein_o you_o may_v put_v a_o piece_n of_o camphir_n which_o burn_v will_v show_v a_o very_a good_a light_n and_o smell_v well_o sometime_o it_o may_v chance_v that_o you_o must_v make_v something_o or_o other_o which_o shall_v seem_v to_o burn_v which_o you_o must_v wet_v thorough_o with_o excellent_a good_a aquavite_n and_o set_v it_o it_o on_o fire_n with_o a_o candle_n it_o will_v burn_v all_o over_o and_o although_o i_o can_v speak_v more_o of_o these_o fire_n yet_o this_o shall_v suffice_v for_o this_o time_n and_o i_o will_v speak_v of_o some_o thing_n that_o be_v please_v to_o the_o beholder_n the_o while_n that_o the_o scene_n be_v empty_a of_o personage_n than_o the_o workman_n must_v have_v certain_a figure_n or_o form_n ready_a of_o such_o greatness_n as_o the_o place_n where_o they_o must_v stand_v will_v afford_v they_o to_o be_v which_o must_v be_v make_v of_o pasteboard_n cut_v out_o round_o and_o paint_a signify_v such_o thing_n as_o you_o will_v which_o figure_n must_v lean_v against_o a_o rule_n or_o lath_n of_o wood_n cross_a over_o the_o scene_n where_o any_o gate_n door_z or_o way_n be_v make_v and_o there_o some_o one_o or_o other_o behind_o the_o door_n must_v make_v the_o figure_n pass_v along_o sometime_o in_o form_n of_o musician_n with_o instrument_n and_o some_o like_a singer_n and_o behind_o the_o scene_n some_o must_v play_v on_o upon_o certain_a instrument_n and_o sing_v also_o sometime_o you_o must_v make_v a_o number_n of_o footman_n and_o horseman_n go_v about_o with_o trumpet_n pife_n and_o drum_n at_o which_o time_n you_o must_v play_v with_o drum_n trumpets_z and_o pife_n etc._n etc._n very_o soft_o behind_o which_o will_v keep_v the_o people_n eye_n occupy_v and_o content_v they_o well_o if_o it_o be_v requisite_a to_o make_v a_o planet_n or_o any_o other_o thing_n to_o pass_v along_o in_o the_o air_n it_o must_v be_v frame_v and_o cut_v out_o of_o pasteboard_n then_o in_o the_o hindermost_a and_o back_o part_n of_o the_o house_n of_o the_o scene_n there_o must_v be_v a_o piece_n of_o wire_n draw_v

draw_v soft_o by_o a_o man_n with_o a_o black_a thread_n from_o one_o end_n to_o the_o other_o but_o it_o must_v be_v far_o from_o man_n sight_n that_o neither_o of_o the_o thread_n may_v be_v see_v sometime_o you_o have_v occasion_n to_o show_v thunder_n and_o lightning_n as_o the_o play_n require_v than_o you_o must_v make_v thunder_n in_o this_o manner_n common_o all_o scene_n be_v make_v at_o the_o end_n of_o a_o great_a hail_n whereas_o usual_o there_o be_v a_o chamber_n above_o it_o wherein_o you_o must_v roll_n a_o great_a bullet_n of_o a_o cannon_n or_o of_o some_o other_o great_a ordnance_n and_o then_o counterfeit_a thunder_n lightning_n must_v be_v make_v in_o this_o manner_n there_o must_v be_v a_o man_n place_v behind_o the_o scene_n or_o scaffold_n in_o a_o high_a place_n with_o a_o box_n in_o his_o hand_n the_o cover_n whereof_o must_v be_v full_a with_o hole_n and_o in_o the_o middle_n of_o that_o place_n there_o shall_v be_v a_o burn_a candle_n place_v the_o box_n must_v be_v fill_v with_o powder_n of_o vernis_fw-la or_o sulphire_n and_o cast_v his_o hand_n with_o the_o box_n upward_o the_o powder_n fly_v in_o the_o candle_n will_v show_v as_o if_o it_o be_v lightning_n but_o touch_v the_o beam_n of_o the_o lightning_n you_o must_v draw_v a_o piece_n of_o wire_n over_o the_o scene_n which_o must_v hang_v downward_o whereon_o you_o must_v put_v a_o squib_n cover_v over_o with_o pure_a gold_n or_o shine_a lattin_a which_o you_o will_v and_o while_o the_o bullet_n be_v roll_v you_o must_v shoot_v of_o some_o piece_n of_o ordinance_n and_o with_o the_o
