We may therefore regard it as particularly\r\nfortunate that no fewer than thirteen notes in the master's\r\nhandwriting can be brought together, which seem to throw light on\r\nthe mysterious history of this famous work. Until now writers on\r\nLeonardo were acquainted only with the passages numbered 712, 719,\r\n720, 722 and 723.\nIn arranging these notes on sculpture I have given the precedence to\r\nthose which treat of the casting of the monument, not merely because\r\nthey are the fullest, but more especially with a view to\r\nreconstructing the monument, an achievement which really almost lies\r\nwithin our reach by combining and comparing the whole of the\r\nmaterials now brought to light, alike in notes and in sketches.\n\u003cb\u003e ......Buy Now (To Read More)\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eProduct details\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eEbook Number\u003c\/b\u003e: 4999 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor\u003c\/b\u003e: Leonardo, da Vinci \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eRelease Date\u003c\/b\u003e: Jan 1, 2004 \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat\u003c\/b\u003e: eBook \u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage\u003c\/b\u003e: English \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eContributors\u003ch3\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eTranslator\u003c\/b\u003e: Richter, Jean Paul, 1847-1937 \u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"booksdeli.com","offers":[{"title":"Leonardo, da Vinci,1452-1519 \/ eBook \/ English","offer_id":43212475007133,"sku":"gb-4999-ebook","price":9.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/5648\/9373\/products\/4999_2f9ea571-d87d-4c4a-89ef-43670e6ae600.jpg?v=1671279428","url":"https:\/\/booksdeli.com\/products\/the-notebooks-of-leonardo-da-vinci-volume-2-gb-4999","provider":"booksdeli.com","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
