None of the referenced illustrations are included. Some entries are small or lists, some are quite detailed. An index would be great. FROM AMAZON: Leonardo da Vinci 'artist, inventor, and prototypical Renaissance man'is a perennial source of fascination because of his astonishing intellect and boundless curiosity about the natural and man-made world. During his life he created numerous works of art and kept voluminous notebooks that detailed his artistic and intellectual pursuits. The collection of writings are drawn from his notebooks. The book organizes his wide range of interests into subjects such as human figures, light and shade, perspective and visual perception, anatomy, botany and landscape, geography, the physical sciences and astronomy, architecture, sculpture, and inventions. The sheer scope of this man's thought is breathtaking. If not the smartest human that ever lived, then damn close. I thought I appreciated Leonardo before going through this - I had no idea. This is a book I will pick up again and again, browsing for inspiration or simple wonder. This belongs on every bookshelf. A Masterpiece to learn and understand Renaissance Man. Although, I'm not a painter -- I got a glimpse of Leonardo's life through his journal entries. "A Painter is not admirable if he is not universal." This seems to strike chords with thinkers of School of Salamanca, who viewed Knowledge holistically and didn't take positivist approach of segmenting branches of Knowledge. --Deus Vult Gottfried geen besprekingen | voeg een bespreking toe
