Optia phaenomeni explicatio
Si plures Circuli aequales
ex diversis centris describan
tur quo majores erunt
eo minus discrepabunt
ab unica figura circulari
quia quo erunt radii eorum
majores distantia centrorum
1 circuli
eo plures habebunt partes
communes. Itaque tandem
ita angeri poterunt circuli
ut sensibiliter desinant in unum
praesertim, si non tres tantum
adhibeantur, sed plures.
Hinc fit ut radius solaris per fora
men quodcunque transmissus quo-
an majore a fohamine distantia
plano ad ipsum radium recto
excipiatur eo magis ad circulum
accelat. Quod experientia clarissi
mam est, sed ratio non aeque obvi
pendet autem ex po
posita paulo ante propositione
Geometrica. Cum enim radius solaris
per rimulas vel hiatus inter arborum
solia transmistus in circulum efformatu
id fit quia ipse sol circularis est
et intelligi
