potuisset, si eaqua de machina illa, quam ad vitra sccundun
determunatam figurampolienda, excogitanerat, ita accurate
inpraxi potuissent obsiruan, quam a bipso ingeniose
fuere excogitata; sid cum nondum eo, quod sciam, peruenent
artisicum dextentas, atque incerbo sit, au nostris temporibus
eo perventura sit, nullo modo hic subsistindum, sod eo omni
conatu annitendum osse judicans, vi id quod minus dixtra
artificum manus exsoqui non porest, aliis modis officere
conemur. Cunique inquiverem commodiorem non invent
quam vt ostendam quo modo per simplicissimas figuvas
et factu facillimas, id quod per magis compositas factum
est, fieri possit, ita vt nulla notabilis disferentia inter
earum iffetus repenatur.
Simpliciores autem quam hyporbola (qua fl. vir Ren
