Leonardo Da Vinci's Personal Notebook

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the pages-of-history dept.

IZ Reloaded writes "The British Library has made available 14 great books on its website. One of them is a 1508 notebook by Leonardo Da Vinci containing short treatises, notes and drawings of a wide range of subjects from mechanics to the moon. The site allows you to view the original manuscript written in Leonardo's own handwriting."

  1. Shockwave by bezzer · · Score: 0, Redundant

    I'm sure they could have chosen something better to use than shockwave. If they were released as PDFs, then it would be much more accessable for those you don't have shockwave installed. There was also a weird problem in using the magnifying glass. Sometimes when releasing the magnifyer, the window would minimise, which is really annoying.
