TWO WORKS of Alhazen [Abu 'Ali ibn Hasan ibn al Haitham], in Latin, both printed by F. Risner, Basel, 1572, viz.: 1. Optica or 'liber de aspectibus' (so colophon). The translation, according to Wüstenfeld (Übersetzungen, &c., in Göttinger Abhandl. xxii, p. 111), is by a Pole named Witelo. In seven books. Beg. 'Inuenimus uisum quando inspexerit luces'; ends 'causa est reflexio. Nunc autem terminemus hunc tractatum, qui est finis libri'. f. 1.
2. De crepusculis: a brief tract, translated, according to Wüstenfeld, by Gerard of Cremona [the elder ?]. Beg. 'Ostendere quid sit crepusculum et que causa'; ends 'illud est quod uoluimus. Explicit liber, &c.', and, in another hand over an erasure, 'Alacen in scientia perspectiua'. f. 102b.
Vellum; ff. 104. 141/2 in. x 101/2 in. XV cent. Gatherings of 10 leaves (last 4), with catchwords. Double columns. In an Italian hand, with marginal diagrams. Sec. fol. 'super eos'. Initials flourished in red, blue, and violet. Cat. of 1666, f. 8 b; CMA. 8510 (cf. 8442, where it seems to be a mistake).
