LEONARDO DA VINCI THE MANUSCRIPTS IN THE INSTITUT DE FRANCE
The twelve Leonardo da Vinci manuscripts held at the Institut de France are unique in that they are exactly in the form and order originally created by Leonardo. The exceptional collection of documents comprises over 2,000 manuscript pages comprehensively illustrated by thousands of masterly drawings reflecting the wide range of Leonardo’s interests.
Under the auspices of the Commissione Nazionale and the Institut de France, Giunti Barbera is bringing these documents—with critical transcription and notes and English translation—for the first time to the international audience.
The publication of The French Codices of Leonardo da Vinci makes available the ultimate work, decisive not only for understanding Leonardo, but also for a complete appreciation of the scientific and literary Rennaissance culture.
Each Codex, boxed in book form, is reproduced in full colors exactly corresponding to the original (size, colors, bindings, etc.). In each 36 x 25 cm book box, bound in full leather, is also a volume containing the diplomatic transcription, critical transcription, notes to the text, appendices and tables of contents.
The 12-volume set is augmented by 3 volumes of English translation of the critical transcriptions.
The edition is limited to 998 numbered sets for the world market.
The first volume of the 12-volume set of The French Codices of Leonardo da Vinci is available now. If the 12-volume set is ordered before the publication of the second volume the pre-publication price of $7,872.00 will apply. Subsequent to the publication of the second volume the price will be $9,840.00. Succeeding volumes will be published at intervals of approximately four months, completing in 1989.
If you would like to order Leonardo’s French Codices, or if you would like more information, please call or write.
