One of Fine's works that has yet to be considered is De Speculo Ustorio Liber Unicus, first printed at Paris in Latin in 1551 Fine observes, the straight line perpendicular to the diameter of as Fine stated in the work's preface, is Witelo's Perspectiva, However, Fine's familiarity with the work clearly predated its first printing, because he known to Fine in its first printing at Venice in 1537 in a Latin for students of the mathematical arts by the inclusion of quadrivial works (e.g., excerpts from Val la's Libri VI de Geometria, work printed in France on instrumental music; De Speculo Dstorio 1.
