  • "Martin Kemp explores the essential nature of Leonardo, both as an individual and as an historical phenomenon. The text conveys Leonardo's apparent diversities as symptoms of an inner unity, a desire to explain the functioning of everything in the observable world. Originally published: 2004."@en
  • "Over 20,000 pages of drawings and notes detail his incredible discoveries and inventions - from the workings of the human eye to designs for flying machines and giant crossbows. Bringing the story up to the present day, Martin Kemp considers what he means to us today, investigates the 'Leonardo industry', and speculates about what he would be doing if he were alive today. This updated edition of Martin Kemp's best-seller is the first book on Leonardo to include two newly discovered works, the most important such discoveries in over a hundred years."--Publisher's website."@en
