Sven Dupré

Sven Dupré is working on a book-length study that will cover the long-term development of optics ca. 1450 to ca. 1700, and attempt to bridge the scholarly gap in research on the history of optics between the Middle Ages (when the discipline of optics was known as 'perspectiva') and the Scientific Revolution of the seventeenth century (or the birth of modern geometrical optics).
