Lenses and Waves

Bibliography
References are made by author and short title. References to the twenty-two
volumes of the Oeuvres Complètes are given by OC followed by the volume and
page numbers, as in OC10, 153. References to the manuscripts, all of which
belong to the collection Codices Hugeniorum housed at the University of
Leiden, are given by manuscript number and folio, as in Hug2, 45v. Huygens
is left out as author.
I do not explicitly refer to all seventeenth-century works listed in the
bibliography, but I have drawn upon these in general conclusions regarding
optics in the seventeenth century.
