| Abstract: | The optical career of Giuseppe Campani (1635-1715) began ca 1660 in Rome, where Eustachio Divini (1610-1685) was then the acknowledged master of the art of telescope making. By necessity, Campani established his reputation on the ruin of Campani's. Their telescopes were pitted against each other in direct comparison using printed pages as targets. During the height of this struggle, in 1664, the Accademia del Cimento became involved directing from Florence a series of tests in Rome. While these tests were not conclusive, the academicians did develop increasingly sophisticated test-sheets, the best of which approached the test-sheets for visual acuity standardized by ophthalmologists 200 years later. This unknown episode is contained in a manuscript collection published here for the first time |
