A selection of short writings by Leonardo da Vinci taken from his notebooks, texts conceived as personal notes and not for publication.

Translation by Elena Martínez. Published in 2014 in the Gadir Bolsillo collection; 124 pages.
For readers seeking a first approach to philosophy and Renaissance thought through Leonardo's own texts.
Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci was an Italian polymath of the High Renaissance who was active as a painter, draughtsman, engineer, scientist, theorist, sculptor, and architect. While his fame initially rested on his achievements as a painter, he has also become known for his notebooks, in which he made drawings and notes on a variety of subjects, including anatomy, astronomy, botany, cartography, painting, and palaeontology. Leonardo is widely regarded as a genius who epitomised the Renaissance humanist ideal, and his collective works contributed to the development of European art to an extent rivalled only by that of his younger contemporary Michelangelo.
