Mark Smith begins his work with a brief account of Giambattista Della
Porta’s life, a review of the genesis of Refractione, and an
examination of the textual sources on which Della Porta drew in
composing the book and its analytic narrative. He explains the why and
how of this edition and translation of the original Latin text of
Refractione. Smith then examines Della Porta’s, physical account of
refraction, his overall account of vision, his account of visual illusions
and their environmental or pathological causes, and his analysis of the
rainbow as well as of some other meteorological phenomena. The final
section of the introductory account addresses the historical significance
of Della Porta’s account of light and sight in De Refractione within the
broader context of natural philosophy as it evolved over the late
sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. The facing Latin-English
edition that follows the introduction is accompanied by a thorough set
of explanatory notes, supplemented by an appendix containing
biographical sketches of relatively obscure authors cited by Della Porta
in his text—all of this meant to ease the reader’s way through that text.
