Leonardo da Vinci

Jacques Maritain (18 November 1882 - 28 April 1973) was a French Catholic philosopher. Raised as a Protestant, he converted to Catholicism in 1906. An author of more than 60 books, he helped to revive St. Thomas Aquinas for modern times and is a prominent drafter of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.

this fantastic reproduction of the Italian written work of Leonardo da vinci with accompanying English translation organizes his disjointed notes and pages by subject and literary genre. here is my original contribution. the author was the son of an Italian father and an Arabic mother. the mother was not married to his father, but was probably a servant in the household. Leonardo was taught to write by an Arabic person, probably his mother, and wrote from right to left, according to the sound, with little connection to the words' spelling and length in a literate Italian's writing. his script has an Arabic style the works we have are notes written for his students at his academy. they are daily products which mix different subjects hourly depending on his schedule and on his students and tutees. honest!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Serge Bramly's biography of Leonardo da Vinci, first published to great critical and popular success in France, seeks to reveal the man behind the legend.--[book jacket].

"Leonardo's notebooks [arranged] so as to indicate systematically what the extent of his anatomical studies was."

The NoteBooks of Leonardo da Vinci reveal 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. 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. [Publisher Note: This eBook does not contain images--sketches are described within the text.]
