John James translation

Vestigia tabernaculi octangularis.

Illustration from Rules and Examples of Perspective proper for Painters and Architects, etc. In English and Latin: Containing a most easie and expeditious method to delineate in perspective all designs relating to architecture

Projectiones rerum octangularium sunt quadratis difficiliores: ideò in eis explicandis diligentiæ non peperci. Moles cujus vestigia vides in A & B, convenit in multis cum eâ quam ereximus figurâ quinquagesimaoctavâ. Visualis CD recipit sectiones perpendicularium, quæ deserviunt pro elevatione figuræ sequentis, ut sæpius dictum est. Si facies interior delineanda sit seorsim à facie anteriori, illam perficies ope linearum CE, istam ope linearum FD.
