Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A chance discovery at a distinguished London map fair in 2012 by a Belgian globe collector produced the most unique of finds: a distinct globe with mysterious images, such as old ships, sailors, a volcano, a hybrid monster, pentimenti, waving patterns, conic individualised mountains, curving rivers, vigorous coastal lines, chiaroscuro and an unresolved triangular anagram, which remains an enigma. The globe is hand-engraved in great detail on ostrich egg shells from Pavia by a left-handed Renaissance genius of unquestionable quality. It shows secret knowledge of the map world from the time of Columbus, Cabral, Amerigo Vespucci and Leonardo da Vinci. Central and North America are covered by a vast ocean. The da Vinci globe originates from Florence and dates from 1504. It marks the first time ever that the names of countries such as Brazil, Germania, Arabia and Judea have appeared on a globe. A Leonardo drawing for this globe, showing the coast of the New World and Africa has been discovered in the British Library. This book brings the reader through a fabulous journey of scholars, maps, riddles, rebuses, iconographic symbols and enigmatic phrases such as HIC SVNT DRACONES to illuminate the da Vinci globe. It details 500 years of mystery, fine scholarship and expert forensic testing at numerous material science laboratories the world over. The da Vinci globe now takes its rightful place, surpassing the Lenox globe, its copper-cast identical twin, as the most mysterious globe of our time. As such, this monograph is an essential text in Leonardo studies and in the history of cartography.

Download or read book Leonardo da Vinci s Giant Crossbow written by Matt Landrus and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2010-06-14 with total page 187 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Although Leonardo’s Giant Crossbow is one of his most popular drawings, it has been one of the least understood. "Leonardo’s Giant Crossbow" offers the first in-depth account of this drawing’s likely purpose and its highly resolved design. This fascinating book has a wealth of technical information about the Giant Crossbow drawing, as it’s a complete study of this project, though this is as accessible to the general audience as much as it is also informative with new discoveries for the professors of engineering, technology and art. The book explores the context of Leonardo’s invention with an examination of the extensive documentary evidence, a short history of the great crossbow and ballista, the first accurate translation of the text and the technical specifications, and a detailed analysis of Leonardo’s design process for the crossbow, from start to finish. Dozens of preparatory drawings, along with the recent discovery of nearly invisible metal stylus preparatory incisions under the ink of the Giant Crossbow drawing, are evidence of Leonardo’s intent to offer engineers and other viewers a thorough design of the massive machine. The book proposes these new discoveries with the help of a strategy that had been at the core of Leonardo’s working philosophy: the proportional method. As proven with an analysis of the Giant Crossbow project, he used a consistent approach to 1/3rd proportions throughout the design and drawing process and employed this kind of proportional strategy at the start of almost every important project. Thanks to this proof of his knowledge of geometry, evidence of his studies of impetus and force, and thanks to the highly polished and complex nature of the Giant Crossbow design, a later date for the drawing is proposed in the present book, associating the drawing with his drafting capabilities around 1490-93.

This book was released on 2007-02-01 with total page 394 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Este trabalho resulta de uma investigação em Museologia e Património Cultural sobre a concetualização do Museu Nacional da Ciência e da Técnica (1971-1976). Pretende-se dar a conhecer o contexto em que emerge o Museu, as suas influências, a sua estrutura, a sua projeção e dificuldade de reconhecimento no seio da comunidade museológica. Este Museu foi pensado e construído por Mário Silva, eminente físico conimbricense, que se doutorou com a Nobel Madame Marie Curie, no início do século XX. O único Museu nacional dedicado à ciência e à tecnologia, classificado na chamada “primeira geração”, foi impulsionado sob a égide do então Ministro da Educação Nacional, o Prof. Veiga Simão, em tempo marcelista. Na época, Mário Silva e os seus colaboradores estudaram os melhores exemplos da museologia das ciências e das técnicas para desenharem um projeto ambicioso e atualizado. Percorre-se desde o Musée des Arts et Métiers parisiense ao Exploratorium de São Francisco para se conhecer os seus contributos na evolução da museologia e a sua influência no projeto português. A instalação condigna da sede do Museu, a ideia de instituto, de museu nacional, de descentralização, de rede guiaram as preocupações daquele mentor e nem sempre foram compreendidas ou levadas a bom termo. Merece destaque a atividade expositiva, logo desde 1973, constituindo a face visível do Museu. Na formação do “recheio” ou coleção, impressiona a pretensão de inventariar todo o material existente em estabelecimentos oficiais de ensino.
