By Jean 1528-1558 Pena, Johannes 1571-1630 Kepler, Galileo 1564-1642 Galilei

Ioannis Kepleri Sae. Cae. Mtis. mathematici Dioptrice, seu, Demonstratio eorum quae visui & visibilibus propter conspicilla non ita pridem inventa accidunt, published in 1611, represents a foundational work by Johannes Kepler on the theory of optics. This significant treatise explores the behavior of light as it passes through lenses, particularly in the context of newly invented telescopes. Including correspondence from Galileo Galilei, the text provides insights into the advancements in observational astronomy made possible by these optical instruments.

Kepler's "Dioptrice" not only demonstrates his profound understanding of mathematics and physics but also his crucial role in the scientific revolution, offering a detailed examination of visual perception and the workings of optical devices. This Latin text is a vital resource for understanding the history of science, the development of optics, and the early use of telescopes in astronomical discovery.
