and here printed in the text, the words corpo luminoso [luminous

THAT PART OF THE REFLECTION WILL BE BRIGHTEST WHERE THE
REFLECTED
RAYS ARE SHORTEST.

2] The darkness occasioned by the casting of combined shadows will
be in conformity with its cause, which will originate and terminate
between two plane surfaces near together, alike in tone and directly
opposite each other.
[4] In proportion as the source of light is larger, the luminous and
shadow rays will be more mixed together. This result is produced
because wherever there is a larger quantity of luminous rays, there
is most light, but where there are fewer there is least light,
consequently the shadow rays come in and mingle with them.
