Exhibition: da Vinci’s books https://www.mpg.de/13409753/leonardo-da-vinci-reflected-in-his-library?c=150889
Leonardo da Vinci was a tireless and inquisitive reader. He owned more than 200 books about science and technology as well as literary and religious topics. An exhibition that is being organized by the Max Planck Institute for the History of Science and the Berlin State Library at the Museo Galileo in Florence has shed new light on the intellectual universe of the artist, engineer and philosopher, who remains as fascinating as ever 500 years after his death.
