1663ref. 1752Paris: Jean du Puis/Widow of Langlois 1663. Scarce edition of this important treatise on perspective by the most scientifically rigorous of 17th-century French theorists of particular interest for its contention that the illustrations to earlier treatises were often defective Millard thus making it the first work on the subject to treat the problem of didactic illustration in a deliberate and self-conscious manner. A comprehensive textbook Book I gives basic geometrical definitions and an introduction to perspective construction; Book II treats simple and deformed perspectivenamely the curved or irregular surfaces found in vaulted ceilings niches etc. and examines the necessary surface distortion anamorphosis to bring a picture painted on such a surface into perspective; Book III deals with more complex cases of anamorphosis such as reflections on flat cylindrical and conical surfaces; and Book IV covers the use of dioptrics for placing figures on flat surfaces. The sections of books II and III dealing with anamorphosis were particularly important whether in Nicerons own practice as a painter or for later artists or theorists see the chapter on Niceron in Baltruaitis and according to Mahoney DSB the discussion of refraction in Book IV possibly contains the first published reference to Descartes derivation of the law of refraction X.104. The work first appeared in French in 1638; reprinted in 1646 and 1651 in the latter with the first appearance of Mersennes treatise. This edition is a second edition of that reprint.

Part I contains the earliest examples of music engraving in France. Part II is an important study of musical instruments of the late Renaissance and early Baroque. Mersenne was a "French mathematician philosopher music theorist and savant. He was one of the leading French thinkers of the 17th century and his work is central to the academic and scientific movements of the second quarter of the century; an important part of it is devoted to the science theory and practice of music. He was a transitional figure at a crucial confluence of Renaissance and Baroque ideas in France summing up the accomplishments of the past and posing the difficult questions for the future inherent in the new attitudes of his own time." Albert Cohen in Grove Music Online "An examination of the Harmonicorum will at once show how much it was in advance of anything published up to that time and it is the first in which the science of acoustics is applied practically to the study of Music. Perhaps to us in the present day the greatest interest is in the last four Books treating of the various instruments known at that time divided into stringed and wind instruments the organ having a book to itself and instruments of percussion as bells and drums. These are illustrated profusely with woodcuts as well as with engravings on copper both printed in the text. It is worthy of notice that in treating of the organ several schemes are given for dividing the octave into more than twelve semi-tones so as to be able to use it in the keys impossible with unequal temperament." Matthew: The Literature of Music p. 53. Mersenne also authored an early and influential work on music theory Harmonie Universelle published in Paris 1636-37 addressing the relationship between music and mathematics and containing the earliest presentation of what have become known as "Mersenne's Laws" describing the harmonics of vibrating strings; he is thus often referred to as the "father of acoustics." A cornerstone of the literature. Guillelmi Baudry unknown
