'Castelli's optical investigations were continued in a treatise sent to Giovanni Ciampoli in 1639 and published posthumously in 1669. Included are many observations and conclusions with respect to the persistence of optical images, by which Castelli explained the perception of motion, the illusion of forked tongues in serpents, and other phenomena. In the same treatise he recommended the use of diaphragms in telescopes to impede transverse rays, anticipating Hevelius. HIs discussions of the camera obscura, the inversion of images on the retina, and of cataract (from which Galileo had recently lost his sight), although less novel, are not without interest' (Stillman Drake in D.S.B. III: 116). This volume also contains: ARIOTTI, 'Towards Absolute Time: The Undermining and Refutation of the Aristotelian Conception of Time in the Sixteenth and Seventeenth Centuries' (31-50); A. J. TURNER, 'Mathematical Instruments and the Education of Gentlemen' (pp. 51-88; 10 plates); Dennis R. DEAN, 'James Hutton and his Public, 1785-1802' (89-106); H. M. BARKLA, 'Benjamin Robins and the Resistance of Air' (107-122).
