Additional quotes by Francesco Maria Grimaldi

Occasionally, light added to itself may give obscure surfaces on a body that has already received light.

Light propagates and spreads not only directly, through refraction, and reflection, but also by a fourth mode, diffraction.

Lumen propagatur seu diffunditur non solum Directe, Refracte, ac Reflexe, sed etiam alio quodam quarto modo, Diffracte.
