About This Item
London: Folio Society, 2009. Folio Society. hardcover. Books all NF: clean, square, tight, unmarked. Slipcase VG: seam starting at bottom otherwise intact, mild shelf wear.. 3 vol. 8vo 376pp. + 519pp. + 458pp. Second printing. This commemorative edition of the 1938 Edward MacCurdy compilation includes writing on almost every subject imaginable: anatomy, medicine, engineering, optics, architecture, hydraulics, botany and natural history. His personal notes offer insights into his passions, preoccupations and eccentricities, while a detailed index allows for easy navigation. Almost 100 of his exquisite drawings have been reproduced to exceptionally high standard: preparatory drawings for The Last Supper, anatomical diagrams such as The Vitruvian Man, and sketches of inventions - including his designs for a flying machine, created hundreds of years before others dared dream of flying. Finally, two insightful essays tell us more about da Vinci and his writings: one by da Vinci biographer Charles Nicholl, and the other by the collection' translator and editor, Edward MacCurdy.. #01822.
