A little about the book

Leonardo’s notebook passages range across drawing, light, anatomy, water and mechanical design. Reading across subjects shows him returning to the same problem of how a moving or changing thing can be studied closely enough to draw.

Richter’s edition groups scattered material by subject. It makes the notes easier to follow while reminding the reader that the organisation belongs partly to the editor.
