Leonardo da Vinci's Robots book+model kit
New mechanics and new automata found in codices
An extraordinary and passionate voyage of the discovery of mysteries concealed in Leonardo da Vinci’s drawings of the robot-car, the mechanical lion, the army of mechanical knights and hundreds of other machines. This book puts into practice Leonardo’s approach, allowing images to explain rather than using written descriptions. In well over 800 unpublished illustrations of manuscripts, designs and three-dimensional images, the “visual language” is applied. From in-depth studies in mechanisms and historical research emerges a new approach defined as “a multimedia archaeology of da Vinci”.
For the first time, it’s easy for anyone to build the incredible “car” Leonardo designed. This pack contains all the gears and wooden and metal parts needed to build the small-scale model (1:4) of this robot. Enjoy following the instructions that will reveal the hidden mystery of folio 812r of the Codex Atlanticus: an idea no one managed to understand in over 500 years!

The Da Vinci Code -
Bestseller by Dan Brown
Is it true that a murderer is hidden in the painting of the Last Supper?
Leonardo made many preparatory studies for his painting of the Last
Supper. None of these show any sign of the mysterious and “dangerous”
allegories or symbolism conjured up in Brown’s novel. The study of Da
Vinci’s manuscripts is fascinating and he emerges as an even greater
and more mysterious figure.
The novel in question has the value of stimulating the curiosity of
people who have never before had any interest in Leonardo, but such
people must not be misled. The manuscripts are available to anyone who
seriously wants to learn more and to study the real mysteries of this
genius.

The Da Vinci Code - Bestseller by Dan Brown
Did Leonardo invent the Cryptex?
Dan Brown writes that it was Leonardo da Vinci who had the idea of this
miniature combination-lock strongbox. Indeed, the illustrated edition
of the book includes a page from Leonardo’s manuscripts with a
mechanism that appears to be similar to the one used for the Cryptex.
The drawing in question is on a page from Manuscript B, folio 33
verso, to be precise. Leonardo’s design has nothing to do with the
strongbox featured in the novel and there is no trace of this mechanism
in the other Codices. So the author must have invented it.

Leonardo Da Vinci
A new approach to culture
|
|
ŤOh,
writer, what letters will you use to write so perfectly in its entirety
the representation that figured here? Which you, for lack of noticing,
write in confused manner, leave little recognition of the true nature
of these things; and in describing which, you, self-deluding, believe
you fully satisfy your listener, giving to speak of the representation
of any bodily thing, superficially encased; I remind you, trouble
yourself not with words if yet you will not speak with your eyes; or,
if you would use words to demonstrate to the ears and not the eyes of
men, then speak of things of substance or of nature, and concern
yourself not to make things of the eyes pass through the ears, for ere
long you will be far surpassed by the work of the artist”
Leonardo Da Vinci | W 19071 r (circa 1513),

Here
is a new way for you to engage history and culture. This portal, the
exhibitions, publications and everything involved in the “Leonardo3”
project are the result of research activities and work carried out by
L3’s founding partners, Mario Taddei and Edoardo Zanon.
Leonardo3 (L3) is an innovative media company (research laboratory,
creation of exhibitions and museums; editorial, television and
multi-media projects; publishing house). Our mission is to study,
interpret and make our artistic and scientific heritage available and
enjoyable to the general public through the use of innovative
techniques. In our work, we place particular importance on
three-dimensional (3D) reconstructions, hence the “3” in the name
Leonardo3.
Presently, L3’s research laboratories and all our production work
(physical and three-dimensional models, books, multi-media aids,
documentaries, exhibitions and museums) are dedicated to Leonardo da
Vinci’s work and our early results have shown a wide global interest.
We made the first working prototype in the world of Leonardo’s
automobile, as well as virtual and physical interpretations of around
50 ingenious machines devised by da Vinci, that have never before been
brought to life.
As part of our efforts to promote the work of da Vinci, we have created a digital version of the Codex Atlanticus.
Based on the original manuscripts of his most interesting work, we
offer a brand-new, exclusive and high-resolution means of interacting
with Leonardo. For the first time in history the Codex Atlanticus is available for the enjoyment of the general public. But the really
new aspect of our product is our up-to-the minute presentation of what
we have produced.

3D
models of the machines spring from the images in the pages, allowing
the viewer the opportunity to interact. In this way, thanks to the
virtual models, it is possible to understand how the designs actually
work. The original manuscripts are historic proof of Leonardo’s work
but, they are of interest mainly to academic experts, whereas the
general public will be fascinated by our 3D reconstructions.
L3 studies the past and creates innovative means of communication to
explain and stimulate interest in it. That is why we combine physical
models, three-dimensional reconstructions and interactive software. In
a nutshell, we believe that edutainment is the best means to understand
the past and to meet the future.
Leonardo da Vinci’s designs are unquestionably extraordinary in
themselves. But it is our modern way of interpreting and popularizing
them that makes them truly incredible. For the first time in 500 years
we can grasp the true significance of these wonderful projects. And
this is only the beginning.
