Lumen propagatur seu diffunditur non solum directe, refracte, ac reflexe, sed etiam alio quodam quarto modo, diffracte." (Proposition 1.  Light propagates or spreads not only in a straight line, by refraction, and by reflection, but also by a somewhat different fourth way: by diffraction.)  On p. 187, Grimaldi also discusses the interference of light from two sources:  "Propositio XXII.  Lumen aliquando per sui communicationem reddit obscuriorem superficiem corporis aliunde, ac prius illustratam."  (Proposition 22.  Sometimes light, as a result of its transmission, renders dark a body's surface, [which had been] previously  illuminated by another [source].)
