5.0 out of 5 stars Leonardo's Masterpiece, January 27, 2000
By rareoopdvds (San Diego, CA United States) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)      
Leonardo Da Vinci's anatomical drawings, due to his extreme curiosity, became one of his most profound works to date. Published by Dover from the original text 1952. The book is set up in 2 columns and broken up into headers of different anatomical structures; either of bones, muscles, ventricles of the heart or brains. The chapters are broken into systems: nervous, cardiovascular, myological, osteological, respitory, alimentary and others. Within the text there are italicized words. These are the words written on the drawing itself, in Leonardo's usual backward writing style. Some of you might be curious, beyond the drawings themselves to read what Leonardo thought at the time. And from there is the authors commentary. For those interested in anatomy, drawing, painting or anything in the art field, this book is highly reccoemended, for it has limitless reference value. I continually look at it for my drawings. One will also notice that many of the "models" are of the same body or person. This is because Leonardo asked a friend on his deathbed if he could cut him up, dissect him and then draw him. The friend, of course, consented to this, and so we have Leonardo's masterpiece. Highly reccomended! Also reccomended is his Notebooks, also printed by Dover.

3.0 out of 5 stars Not for me, March 14, 2006
If you are thinking that buying this book would help you learning a secret of leonardo's drawing, this is not that book you are looking for . You would learn better with bridgeman's anatomy book or somebody else. This book is pure anatomy and science.

If you like reading texts and texts, then this is probably for you, but not me.
