Chapter Chapter VII in The Geometrical Work of Girard Desargues, 1987, pp 144-160 from Springer

Abstract: Abstract The original title of Desargues’ work is Exemple de l’une des manieres universelles du S.G.D.L. touchant la pratique de la perspective sans emploier aucun tiers point, de distance ny d’autre nature, qui soit hors du champ de l’ouvrage. Our translation follows the text of the first edition (1636, paginated from 1 to 12) but takes account of differences with the second edition, in Bosse’s La Perspective de Mr Desargues (1648, pages 321 to 334), where it is followed almost immediately by the three geometrical propositions translated in Chapter VIII below. A list of Desargues’ vocabulary is given in Chapter V above.
