About This Book
arthistorynatural-philosophy
Step inside the 'grimoire' of history’s greatest polymath, where terrifying war machines and visionary flying apparatuses sit alongside revolutionary theories on light and shadow. This compilation by Péladan reveals the chaotic, unedited brilliance of Leonardo da Vinci’s mind, challenging us to decide if his scientific obsessions were a distraction from his art or the very source of his genius.
