LEONARDO’S MANUSCRIPTS

Miscellanies

Ar Codex Arundel. British Library, London (Arundel MS 263). 283 folios, with a typical format of 210 х 150 mm.

Facsimile edition: Il Codice Arundel 263, ed. Carlo Pedretti and Carlo Vecce (Florence, 1998), with chronological re-ordering of folios.

CA Codex Atlanticus. Biblioteca Ambrosiana, Milan. Miscellaneous collection of drawings and writings, formerly of 401 folios in large format, 645 × 435 mm, compiled by Pompeo Leoni in the sixteenth century, recently reorganized (1962–1970) into 12 volumes with a total of 1,119 folios. The discrepancy is because many of the folios of the original compilation had smaller pieces glued or mounted on them; in the new arrangement these smaller items have been separated. As is conventional, I give both the new and the old folio references: e.g. CA 520r/191r-a refers to the recto of new folio 520, which was formerly item ‘a’ on the recto of old folio 191.

Facsmile edition: Il Codice Atlantico, ed. Augusto Marinoni (24 vols., Florence, 1973–80).

RL Royal Library, Windsor. A collection of 655 drawings and manuscripts, catalogued as folios 12275–12727 (general) and 19000–19152 (anatomical). The anatomical folios were previously bound into three volumes: Anatomical MS A (= RL 19000–19017), B (= RL 19018–59) and C, divided into six ‘quaderni di anatomia’, or anatomical notebooks, numbered I–VI (= RL 19060–19152).

Early biographies

For reasons of space I do not give individual page references for my very frequent citations from the four main early biographical sources on Leonardo (Antonio Billi, Anonimo Gaddiano, Paolo Giovio, Giorgio Vasari). The ‘biographies’ by Billi, the Anonimo and Giovio are a couple of pages long; the Life of Leonardo in Vasari’s Lives of the Artistsis longer, but the interested reader can easily locate the quotation in George Bull’s translation (see Vasari 1987), where the Life is pp. 255–71, and can pursue it further by consulting Milanesi’s annotated edition (see Vasari 1878–85). For details of these sources, see Introduction nn. 17–20, and ‘Books and articles’ below.
