For the first time it is possible for anyone with an iPad to own and explore this remarkable testament to Leonardo's scientific and artistic genius.

This beautiful interactive edition of Leonardo da Vinci's anatomical notebooks transcends the printed page.

This is an edition for the 21st Century in a digital form that the archetypal Renaissance Man would most certainly have appreciated and approved.

Amazing, Charming, Simple App

Leitilumo on

I've explored this application thoroughly. The design is minimalist and pleasing. The drawings are high quality, and the explorative elements are a joy. The history is nice, especially as it ties into the anatomical studies. It's definitely one of the nicest applications on the App Store, worth much more than average. A+

Wonderful!

Incredible and beautiful

I was very impressed with the detail and information presented in this app. The toggle between the original writings by da Vinci on the sides of the drawings and an English translation overlay is by itself worth the price of this app. Beautiful, and wonderfully done.

Spectacular
