Summary

"Nowhere is the genius of Leonardo da Vinci more evident than in the famous Codex Atlanticus, which preserves his dazzling ideas on subjects ranging from war machines and musical instruments to human anatomy and powered flight. Now, here are the finest pages of the Codex, shown in high-quality photographs that allow us to see details previously admired only by scholars. Leonardo da Vinci's work emerges with all its peerless force in this beautiful reproduction."--Publisher's description
