Target entity: Ptolemy's Optics
Context triple: [European scholastic optics, influencedByWork, Ptolemy's Optics]

• A. Euclid's Optics
  Euclid's Optics is an ancient Greek treatise that systematically analyzes visual perception and perspective using geometric principles, laying foundational ideas for later optical theory.
• B. Book of Optics
  The Book of Optics is a foundational 11th-century scientific work that revolutionized the understanding of vision, light, and optics, laying key groundwork for the modern science of optics.
• C. Theodoric of Freiberg's De iride et radialibus impressionibus
  Theodoric of Freiberg's *De iride et radialibus impressionibus* is a seminal medieval treatise that offers one of the first correct scientific explanations of the rainbow through geometric and optical analysis.
• D. Ibn Sahl's treatise on burning mirrors and lenses
  Ibn Sahl's treatise on burning mirrors and lenses is a foundational 10th-century work in Islamic optics that mathematically analyzes refraction and lens design, anticipating principles later formalized in Snell’s law.
• E. Liber de perspectivis
  Liber de perspectivis is a Renaissance treatise on perspective and geometrical optics by the Italian mathematician and scientist Guidobaldo del Monte.
• F. None of above. chosen
• G. Unsure - the case is ambiguous/there is not enough information to decide.
