by (italian) Leonardo Da Vinci
About This Novel
Leonardo da Vinci left many notes throughout his life. He had tens of thousands of notes. Later generations are also looking for these precious notes and preserving them. From these notes, we can not only get a glimpse of the ideological circuit of Leonardo da Vinci, but also trace the ideological trend of the Renaissance. Leonardo da Vinci was diligent in recording throughout his life and wrote tens of thousands of notes. Today, only more than 5,000 pages remain. The notes in this book cover many fields, including a large number of explanations and sketches on astronomy, geography, architecture, water conservancy, fossils, and even optics. There are many wonders among them, and all kinds of knowledge that transcend the cognition of the times emerge in endlessly. Its preciousness can be seen from the world's pursuit of it. His works are scattered in various European countries. Although later generations tried hard to preserve them, some of them were destroyed by Napoleon. Therefore, this manuscript is particularly precious. This notebook was auctioned by Microsoft founder Bill Gates for US$30.8 Million in 1994, making it the most expensive book in the world and making this notebook truly well-known to the world. Most of Leonardo da Vinci's notes were written backwards in Italian with his left hand. The reason for writing backwards was to prevent the handwriting from becoming blurred. However, most of Leonardo's handwriting is messy and therefore difficult to read, and must be mirrored to read correctly. Leonardo da Vinci's great talent in using language, rhetoric and image thinking made these chapters beautiful essays that future generations will never tire of reading.
