Product Description

Product Description

This selection reveals a true Renaissance man, whose habit of rigorous enquiry, observation, and experiment, grounded in a philosophic system, led him to conceive of the universe as an organized cosmos corresponding to a work of art.
Inside This Book (Learn More)
First Sentence
Consider now, O reader! what trust can we place in the ancients, who tried to define what the Soul and Life are-which are beyond proof-whereas those things which can at any time be clearly known and proved by experience remained for many centuries unknown or falsely understood. Read the first page

3.0 out of 5 stars A Genius Uncovered., 26 Oct 2001
A fascinating insight into a man who probably most epitomises "The Renaissance". The scope of his interests and the amount of detail that he undertook with them is revealed here to show a man who could quite clearly be labelled a genius. Whilst this volume presents an edited version of Da Vinci's notes, a fine job has been done in corralling them into some semlance of order (Da Vinci would scrawl e.g. notes on light in the margins of his manuscripts on painting). However some entries do seem a little banal and there is no explanation as to some of the terms used: How long is a braccia? For that the notes that accompany the last section on Da Vinci's general life help to illustrate the times he lived in both socially and politically - a chance encounter with Michaelangelo being particularly interesting as well as his dealings with Cesare Borgia.

5.0 out of 5 stars This collection is essential, 17 May 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: The Notebooks: 001 (Paperback)
I can not do this book justice by attempting to describe it in words. Far be it from me. All I can say is that if you are a Da Vincian at heart, this book should already be in your collection. If it's not, then by all means get it.
