Publisher's Synopsis
The decision to unbind the pages of the famous Codex Atlanticus, one of the greatest collections of da Vinci drawings and studies, held at Milan's Biblioteca Ambrosiana, has allowed the public and scholars easier access to the ideas and thoughts of the great Renaissance genius. This book, which reproduces some of the finest pages of the Codex, examines his interest in many different fields, from military fortifications to anatomy, from war machines to musical instruments, from flight to botany.
