The Atlantic Codex, also known as the Codex Atlanticus, is a collection of writings and drawings by Leonardo da Vinci that was compiled between 1478 and 1519. The Codex consists of 12 volumes, which contain over 1,100 pages of notes and sketches on a wide range of subjects, including art, science, engineering, and philosophy.

The Codex Atlanticus is named after the Atlantic Ocean, as it was compiled during a time when Europeans were beginning to explore and colonize the Americas. The name is also a reference to the large size of the Codex, which is one of the largest collections of da Vinci's work in existence.

The Codex Atlanticus is housed in the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, Italy, where it has been carefully preserved and studied by scholars and art historians for centuries. It is considered one of the most important and valuable works of the Italian Renaissance, and it has influenced countless artists and scientists over the years.

The Codex Atlanticus contains a vast array of drawings and writings on topics ranging from human anatomy to the design of military weapons. Some of the most notable drawings in the Codex include da Vinci's studies of the human body, his designs for flying machines, and his sketches of hydraulic engineering projects.

Overall, the Codex Atlanticus is a remarkable work of art and science, and it continues to fascinate and inspire people today with its insights into the mind of one of the greatest geniuses in history.
