Leonardo da Vinci: Notebooks (Oxford World's Classics)

I got this for class and it’s actually a good book

With just a dozen works of art, Leonardo is still the greatest artist who ever lived---and with his vast array of scientific, technological, and futuristic thoughts as evidenced through his drawings---probably the greatest mind as well. When we think of Genius---and there are many in all fields---the one who tops the list is still Leonardo. A pleasure to read about, admire, and emulate---an inspiration for all humanity.

I was skeptical at first about the quality of this book because there were no reviews. There are in fact several sketches of Leonardo's found in the book unlike the free versions of his notebooks, but if you are looking for his notebooks with out the sketches than the free versions are the way to go. Don't be dissuaded by the free versions of Da Vinci's Notebooks, but instead spring for this copy. Trust me you won't be disappointed.

Excellent educational novel

Amazon needs to clarify that this book has only a few thumbnail sketches done by Leonardo. The text is of his commentaries regarding what he reckons should constitute quality imagery, technically and aesthetically.

I AM A BIG COLLECTOR OF ANY DA'VINCI BOOKS! I LOVE THAT YOU DONT HAVE TO PURCHASE BRAND NEW! IF YOU ARE JUST LOOKING TO READ IT, NOT COLLECT... I HAVE ALMOST ALL OF THE BOOKS ON HIS ART AND LIFE!

For those interested in Da Vinci's work, this is an excellent record and concisely portrays the amazing mental processes he used for his brilliant work for his entire life. Bought it as a gift for my father who is a brilliant designer himself.

I bought this for my 11 yr old daughter who is passionate about science everything. She LOVED it :) Found out later about some supplemental works that I wish I had purchased. There's always next Christmas!

🖤 Excellent 🤍 As Described

Gran artículo, perfecto para casi cualquier coche, se ajusta estupendamente y es muy funcional, De hecho lo recomiendo con gran sinceridad.

Good book for artists, good delivery

Não há a reprodução das figuras dos Cadernos de Leonardo da Vinci, senão alguns esquemas esparsos. Destituído da quase totalidade da significativa representação imagética, o livro perde o vigor dos Cadernos originais, embora seja muito bem editado (Oxford), com papel e tipos de excelente qualidade. Não atendeu à necessidade ou à expectativa.

Excellent book to read along with the Leonardo davinci book
