Abstract: This work aims to present an edition of the prologue and second section of the seventh treatise of Ibn al-Haytham’s (d. 1041) Book of Optics. My work based on three manuscripts, the al-Fatih manuscript n°3216, Agia Sophia n°2448, and Köprülü n°952., Abdelhamid Sabra has already edited treatises I-II-III-IV-V of Ibn Al-Haytham’s Optics. Although some researchers have used the two treatises VI and VII in their studies and Roshdi Rashed edited some paragraphs, the treatises VI-VII have not yet been edited. Thus, it is useful to edit the two parts of the treatise VII in which Ibn al-Haytham treats the problem of the movement of light.

Keywords: The sight, consideration, the movement of light, the diaphant, the turn.
