DESCRIZIONE:

Publisher's description:
This unprecedented editorial project began in 1964.
That year, after a careful and rigorous evaluation by the academic community, a decree by the President of the Italian Republic awarded the management and facsimile reproduction of all the works by Leonardo da Vinci to the Florentine publisher, Giunti.
For the first and only time, the owners of the works by Leonardo throughout the world gave their consent to directly access the originals for this official reproduction.
State-of-the-art techniques combined with extraordinary workmanship made it possible to reproduce faithfully and reunite the originals in the only facsimile edition in the world.
The amazing, monumental collection entitled National Edition of the Manuscripts and Drawings by Leonardo da Vinci presented here in came about in this manner.
Only 998 copies of each facsimile work, hand numbered from 1/998 to 998/998, are available worldwide. Each facsimile is accompanied by a Certificate of Guarantee attesting to its originality and unique character, along with a signed Notarised Certificate.
Over the years facsimiles have been acquired by public and private, national and international collections and, like the originals, they have been jealously guarded, to such an extent that today only a few exemplars are still available.
Compiled between 1487 and 1490, this is one of the oldest known manuscripts in the corpus of Leonardo's writings. By someone who was anything but an omo sanza lettere (‘an unlettered man'), this codex reflects Leonardo's desire to master Latin and organise lexical lists of all the words in the Italian language related to science, philosophy and the humanistic subjects in general. Many words were reinterpreted by Leonardo, who gave them new meanings and used them in different contexts, providing us with a valuable document for the history of language during that period. In addition to the lists of words, the codex includes an important series of caricature drawings exploring different types of physiognomy that constitute a curious gallery of real and imaginary portraits. Extremely interesting are the studies for the design of the tiburium of the Cathedral in Milan, as well as a number of projects relating to military architecture.
In the current edition, there is a volume with diplomatic and critical transcription by Anna Maria Brizio and the reproductions of invisible figures revealed by special photographs.
