Scritti letterari - Leonardo da Vinci 1452-1519; Marinoni, Augusto (Milan Rizzoli, 1952)
This volume gathers all of Leonardo's writings that do not have strict reference to scientific research or figurative art. These are the Fables, short texts in the tradition of moral apologies; the Bestiary, a handbook on the fable-like significance of animals; the Prophecies, a kind of riddles to be recited at court; the Humanities, and a collection of Thoughts.
