Let \(C_1\) and \(C_2\) be two plane conics, with \(C_1\) inside \(C_2\). Poncelet's closure theorem states that if there exists an \(n\)-sided polygon inscribed in \(C_2\) (vertices contained in \(C_2\)) and circumscribed in \(C_1\) (sides tangent to \(C_1\)) then for any point in \(C_2\) there is such a polygon having that point as one vertex. In the paper under review, the author proves that two models of Poncelet's closure theorem (namely the Bertrand-Jacobi model and Takahashi's optical model) are projectively equivalent.
