Bartholomew the Englishman

On the Eyes

Latin Etymology

..Quod autem per istum humorem habeat fieri visus, patet per hoc, quod si aliquid inter ipsum et spiritum visibilem includeretur, ut humor, vel aliud accidens, actus videndi auferretur, cum spiritus visibilis ad ipsum penetrare propter obstaculum, non valeret. Oritur autem humor iste a particus cerebri superioribus puris, perviis et dyaphanis, et hoc proprie est pupilla sive medius oculi punctus, ubi est proprie vis videndi, ubi nobis propius videntibus relucent quaedam imagines, velut in speculo apparentes. Sed de hoc infra dicetur.

Hic autem humor in medio aliorum duorum collocatur, scilicet vitrei et albuginei.
