2020-01-01

Abstract

The volume, part of the new critical edition of Leonardo's Leicester Codex edited in collaboration with Martin Kemp (four volumes), contains essays devoted to the scientific content of the codex in relation to Leonardo's art and the critical fortune of the manuscript. In particular, two of my essays reconstruct the relationship between geological and fossil research and art (Of the Earth in Itself: Leonardo's ‘Geology’ or Towards a History and Anatomy of the Earth and The Study of Fossils: A Case of Interaction Between Practical and Theoretical Knowledge). My third essay reconstructs, thanks to new evidence, the unsuspected circulation of the Codex Leicester especially among artist-scientists between the 16th and 18th centuries (The History of the Codex Leicester after Leonardo (16th-early 19th Century): Towards a Reconstruction of Leonardo's Legacy as a Scientist).

Il volume, parte della nuova edizione critica del Codice Leicester di Leonardo curata dal sottoscritto in collaborazione con Martin Kemp (quattro volumi), contiene saggi dedicati al contenuto scientifico del codice in rapporto all'arte di Leonardo e alla fortuna critica del manoscritto. In particolare due saggi ricostruiscono il rapporto tra ricerca geologica e sui fossili e arte (Of the Earth in Itself: Leonardo’s ‘Geology’ or Towards a History and Anatomy of the Earth e The Study of Fossils: A Case of Interaction Between Practical and Theoretical Knowledge). Il mio terzo saggio ricostruisce, grazie e nuove evidenze, la insospettata circolazione del Codice Leicester specie tra artisti-scienziati tra XVI e XVIII secolo (The History of the Codex Leicester after Leonardo (16th–early 19th Century): Towards a Reconstruction of Leonardo’s Legacy as a Scientist).
