1663, James Gregory,
Optica Promota :
[1]- Prop. 16. Problema. Corollarium. Hinc quoque satis patet radios A A &c. Parallelos, divergi ab aliquo puncto circiter N; quo ad sensum; etiamsi linea NM nonsit radiis A A &c., geometrice parallela.
- 2006 translation by Ian Bruce
- Corollary. Hence too it is clear enough to the senses that if parallel rays A, A, etc., diverge from some point near N, then the line NM shall not be geometrically parallel to the rays A A etc.
1663, James Gregory,
Optica Promota :
- §5. Prop. 29. Corollarium 2. Hinc sequitur secundo, si unius puncti radii e diversis punctis divergantur, nullam dari, nec locum, nec visionem perfectam.
- 2006 translation by Ian Bruce
- Corollary 2. Thus it follows secondly, if many points are sending out diverging rays in the same manner as a single point but at different places, then no conclusion is drawn by the eye: regarding the location nor is there perfect vision.
