Title
Oculus hoc est: fundamentum opticum, : in quo ex accurata oculi anatome, abstrusarum experientiarum sedula pervestigatione, ex invisis specierum visibilium tam everso quam erecto situ spectaculis, necnon solidis rationum momentis. Radius visualis eruitur; sua visioni in oculo sedes decernitur; anguli visorii ingenium aperitur; difficultates veteres, novæ, innumeræ expediuntur, abstrusa, obscura, curiosa plurima in medium proferuntur; plura depromendi occasio harum rerum studiosis datur: opus multorum votis diu expetitum; philosophis omnibus, præsertim qui naturæ vim in medicina, physica aut mathesi addiscenda rimantur, neque inutile neque ingratum, imò necessarium futurum. / Auctore Christophoro Scheiner, Soc. Jesu, &c..
