Manuscript 512 contains the Book of Optics or De aspectibus by Ibn al-Haytham (965 - 1039). It dates from the thirteenth century. The manuscript was part of the merged libraries of Ter Doest and Ten Duinen Abbey. In De aspectibus Ibn al-Haytham discusses his theories on optics, light and how mirrors and lenses work. His writings are based on his experiments, laying the groundwork for the theory on perspective. The manuscript contains mathematical schemes. [Summary by Sarah Vanroye]
