Il secondo volume del Codice Atlantico
As I promised here is the "review" the second volume of the Atlantic Codex on sale with the Republic and the Sole 24 Ore.
I do not pretend to create a professional review: My intent is to give an idea of \u200b\u200bwhat, broadly speaking, the volume is to stimulate the debate on the blog.
Andiamo con ordine. L' illustrazione in copertina è (chiaramente cambiata rispetto allo scorsa settimana: il macchinario rappresentato è decisamente più complesso di quello precedente, il che promette gia contenuti extra.
Anche i contenuti sono variati rispetto al volume della scorsa settimana: le immagini presentano illustrazioni più ricche di particolari e con una maggiore quantità di note leonardesche. Per questo motivo in questo secondo volume assumono maggior importanza le trascrizioni delle note (e le relative spiegazioni). Queste sono infatti un elemento cruciale per comprendere appieno le varie tavole.
La numerazione dei fogli prosegue chiaramente da quella dello scorso volume cosentendo to maintain order and logic between the planks.
I would like to say a few words on transcripts of the notes, which I put a picture on the right to give a general idea of \u200b\u200bhow they arise. The thing I really liked is that at the start of transcription and the number of the paper is put the image on the page, which helps to identify them visually, making the consultation more dynamic. Usually
transcription distinguishes RECTO (the front page) from TO (back), highlighting and explaining the drawings and notations (indicating the position on the page). This helps greatly the consultation of the various sheets. For the most accurate and relevant are also included arithmetic calculations, made more understandable than the original notes on the paper.
Sometimes in the transcripts are also reported strange notes, like a shopping list , and explanations to the strange doodles. I must say since everything is explained in detail!
For now I think these few lines give a very simplified idea of \u200b\u200bwhat the second volume offers. To go deeper into the contents, I call to report sheets and equipment (or notations) that have most affected to discuss it together.
Finally, for those who are in their first this approach with publication of the Atlantic Codex, I note the link of the Sole 24 Ore, where you can find more information about: http://codiceatlantico.ilsole24ore.com
