Leonardo Da Vinci - Il Codice Atlantico - 2000

New, skimmed only to take photos. The complete version of Leonardo da Vinci's most famous codex, preserved at the Ambrosiana Library in Milan. The most spectacular drawings of extraordinary technological projects, of weapons and fortifications, of hydraulic devices, flying machines and boats that Leonardo ever carried out. A work from which every aspect of the Maestro's astonishing genius emerges, his passionate interest in mechanical and mathematical sciences, in astronomy, physical geography, botany, chemistry and anatomy. All the texts present in the documents are transcribed critically, that is, in contemporary Italian, by Professor Augusto Marinoni, which makes Leonardo's language accessible to everyone. A work of undeniable usefulness not only for the scholar who will be able to make immediate verifications and cross-checks with it, but also an enchanting instrument for those who wish to approach for the first time the genius and knowledge of the great Master. 3 large-format bound volumes, printed on fine ivory-toned paper, packaged in an elegant slipcase.
