Description: Study me reader if you find delight in me. Come O men to see the miracles that such studies will disclose in nature. Most of what we know about Leonardo da Vinci we know because of his notebooks. Some 6,000 sheets of notes and drawings survive which represent perhaps one - fifth of what he actually produced. In them he recorded everything that interested him in the world around him and his study of how things work. With an artist's eye and a scientist's curiosity he studied the movement of water and the formation of rocks the nature of flight and optics anatomy architecture sculpture and painting. He jotted down fables and letters and developed his belief in the sublime unity of nature and man. Through his notebooks we can get an insight into Leonardo's thoughts and his approach to work and life. This selection offers a cross - section of his writings organized around coherent themes.
