Leonardo Da Vinci, Codex Atlanticus (Atlantic Codex), 25
The Codex Atlanticus, also known as the Atlantic Codex, is a collection of writings and drawings by Leonardo da Vinci that is housed in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, Italy. It is named after the Atlantic size of its pages (33 x 24 cm), which was an uncommon format for the time.
The Codex Atlanticus consists of 12 bound volumes and contains over 1,100 pages of notes and sketches on a wide range of topics, including mathematics, engineering, botany, and astronomy. The collection is considered one of the most extensive and valuable records of da Vinci's work and ideas.
The codex was likely compiled between 1478 and 1519, and it was acquired by the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in the late 16th century. The collection was bound into its current form in the 17th century, and it has been studied and admired by scholars and artists ever since.
The Codex Atlanticus is notable for its breadth and depth of content, as well as for the beauty and detail of its drawings. It includes sketches of flying machines, anatomical studies, and designs for weapons and military fortifications, among many other subjects. The codex provides a remarkable window into da Vinci's mind and his approach to science and art, and it remains an important source of inspiration and knowledge to this day.
