A one-of-a-kind manuscript is preserved in the Laurentian Library in Florence: the copy of an 11th-century text completed in 1266 and containing designs for 31 extraordinary machines including water-clocks, mechanical “theaters” and war instruments. A reproduction of the manuscript has been produced for the first time in history and is available in a limited edition of 200 hand-numbered copies. The original text, which has never been published before, was written in Arabic by an Andalusian scientist, a precursor of Leonardo da Vinci from 400 years earlier! This official publication is a collaborative effort with the Laurentian Library in Florence, which houses the manuscript.

Compiled in 1505, the Codex on Flight by Leonardo da Vinci presents the most important study on flight completed before the 19th century. It features both theoretical and experimental analyses derived from observing birds in flight.
But there’s much more. All the drawings and texts are aimed at accomplishing the great dream: to build a machine for human flight. Not only does the Codex explain how to make it, but also how to fly it.
For the first time ever, this book describes a flying machine designed by Leonardo that has never been revealed before: the “Great Kite”. The contents are narrated with 3D images and explanations of all texts.
This book, which is arguably the definitive source for understanding the Codex on Flight, also contains: a complete facsimile at the highest-quality resolution ever published; semi-diplomatic and critical transcriptions of all the texts; and the history of flight before and after Leonardo.

BOOK
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. The 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 In well over 800 unpublished illustrations of manuscripts, designs and three-dimensional images, the “visual language” is applied.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”.

MODEL KIT
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!
