  • Ars Magna Lucis et Umbrae ("The Great Art of Light and Shadow") is a 1646 work by the Jesuit scholar Athanasius Kircher. It was dedicated to Ferdinand IV, King of the Romans and published in Rome by Lodovico Grignani. A second edition was published in Amsterdam in 1671 by Johann Jansson. Ars Magna was the first description published in Europe of the illumination and projection of images. The book contains the first printed illustration of Saturn and the 1671 edition also contained a description of the magic lantern. Ars magna lucis et umbrae followed soon after Kircher's work on magnetism, Magnes sive de Arte Magnetica (1641) and the title was a play on words. In his introduction Kircher notes that the word 'magna' alluded to the powers of the magnet, so that the title could also be read “The Magnetic Art of Light and Shadow”. The work was well-known for several decades. (en)
  • Ars magna lucis et umbrae es una obra de Athanasius Kircher publicada en Roma a mediados de siglo XVII (1645-1646) y estructurada en diez libros o capítulos. La obra destaca por la explicación que se hace sobre los cuerpos celestes, las relaciones entre estos, la influencia que tienen sobre la Tierra y su relación con el cálculo del tiempo.​ Luz y sombra están representadas aquí como el águila bicéfala de los Austrias, colocada sobre la égira del sol (Apolo), de la misma forma que los colores, en forma de pavos, están sobre la luna (Diana). Los rayos luminosos corresponden a los grados del conocimiento;obsérvese que el mundo sensible, en sentido platónico, tiene solamente el rango que le confiere la débil reflexión de la luz divina, oscurecida por la oscura caverna del cuerpo.
