La perspective cvrievse dv reverend P. Niceron, minime, divisée en qvatre livres. Avec L'optiqve et la catoptriqve du R. P. Mersenne ... mise en lumiere aprés la mort de l'autheur ...
A 1663 Paris treatise on linear perspective by the Minim friar Jean François Niceron, published posthumously by J. du Puis together with Marin Mersenne's writings on optics and catoptrics, aimed at students of geometry and optics. The plates are numbered engraved geometric diagrams in which a solid such as a cube, pyramid, octahedron or cone is shown with construction lines, vanishing points and projected shadows, and a designer could take from them a clear method for building believable perspective and cast shadow in simple forms.
