The most resplendent figure of Renaissance Italy, discourses on:
How to make a Roman mint
How to escape a shipwreck during a tempest
A flying apparatus for man
How to see images on a splattered wall
The olfactory mechanism of a lion
The movement of water and the moon
Here is a picture of a genius who fathomed the mysterious dephts of nature art; whose perfect creations have for centuries baffled, astounded, and delighted men. In this brilliant new arrangement of his Notebooks, Leonardo himself describes the many facets of his powerful personality, and thereby illustrates the reason for his impact on the minds of men.
