Title: R.P. Ioannis Francisci Niceronis parisini, ex Ord. Minim. Thaumaturgus opticus, seu, Admiranda optices, per radium directum: Catoptrices, per reflexum è politis corporibus, planis, cylindricis, conicis, polyedris, polygonis & aliis: Dioptrices, per refractum in diaphanis : in quibus praeter scenographiae seu perspectivae communis fundamenta, praxes facillimas et demonstrationes, exhibita etiam ex illius praescripto omnis generis solida regularia simplicia et composita, et irregularia multiformia, polyedra, stellata, perforata, nec non architecturae civilis et militaris diagrammata, et alia in graphide spectacula non iniucunda: certissimae quoque et expeditissimae dantur regulae, pro triplici videndi ratione directâ reflexâ et fractâ, figuras et imagines quascunque deformes et improportionatas in quacunque superficie delineandi, ita ut ex certo spectatae puncto videantur venustè proportionatae, picturaeque et symmetriae legibus non dissonae; imò et cuicunque obiecto dato simillimae : opus curiosum & utile pictoribus, architectis, statuariis, sculptoribus, caelatoribus, & quibuscumque aliis, quorum opera in delineandi studio posita est
English Title: R.P. from Jean François Niceron, for Ord. Minim. Miracle-Worker optics, or, a marvelous display of optics, through a ray of straight line: Catoptricam, by reflections and refined bodies, flat, cylindrical, conical, polyhedron, polygons, and others: Dioptrics, refracted in transparent: which except the scenography or common perspectives of the foundations, practices most simple and demonstrations of every kind, as example also from his title preface of every solid, regular, simple and matching genre, an irregular multiform, polyhedronic, sparkling, perforated, nor architecture of the civil and military constructions, and otherwise with a pencil not spectacular nor pleasant: and certain explaining given rules, before threefold observing motives of straight réflexions and ruptures, any shapes and images deformed and without proportion in any soft surfaces in order to certainly spectate any charming proportions, painting and symmetry of these unmatching laws, indeed some very similar object: strange work from adapted painters, architects, statute sculptors, sculptors, engravers and no everyone else, who is working on such studies
