商品描述

This engaging book places Leonardo da Vinci's scientific achievements within the wider context of the rapid development that occurred during the Renaissance. It demonstrates how his contributions were not in fact born of isolated genius, but rather part of a rich period of collective advancement in science and technology, which began at least 50 years prior to his birth.

Readers will discover a very special moment in history, when creativity and imagination were changing the future--shaping our present. They will be amazed to discover how many technological inventions had already been conceived or even designed by the engineers and inventors who preceded Leonardo, such as Francesco di Giorgio and Taccola, the so-called Siena engineers. This engaging volume features a wealth of illustrations from a variety of original sources, such as manuscripts and codices, enabling the reader to see and judge for him or herself the influence that other Renaissance engineers and inventors had on Leonardo.

商品描述(中文翻譯)

這本引人入勝的書籍將列奧納多·達文西的科學成就置於文藝復興時期快速發展的更大背景中。它展示了他的貢獻並非源於孤立的天才,而是屬於一個豐富的科學和技術集體進步的時期,這一進步至少在他出生前的50年就已經開始。

讀者將會發現歷史上非常特殊的一刻,當時創造力和想像力正在改變未來——塑造我們的現在。他們會驚訝地發現,許多技術發明早已被列奧納多之前的工程師和發明家構思或甚至設計出來,例如法蘭西斯科·迪·喬治奧和塔科拉,這些被稱為西恩那工程師的人。這本引人入勝的書籍包含了來自各種原始來源的豐富插圖,如手稿和古籍,使讀者能夠親自看到並評判其他文藝復興時期的工程師和發明家對列奧納多的影響。

作者簡介

Plinio Innocenzi is a full professor of Materials Science and Materials Technology at the University of Sassari and has a special interest in science popularization at different levels. He has a doctorate in physics but attended a Classic Lyceum dedicated to Humanities, Art, Latin, and Greek, which is why he has always maintained a multidisciplinary vision and developed a special passion for the connections between science and art. He has dedicated particular attention in recent years to Leonardo's scientific work and has participated in numerous conferences and festivals on the topic. This book is the result of Prof. Innocenzi's desire to make general readers more aware of the multifaceted origins of scientific and technological knowledge.

作者簡介(中文翻譯)

普林尼奧·伊諾岑齊(Plinio Innocenzi)是薩薩里大學(University of Sassari)材料科學與材料技術的全職教授,對於不同層次的科學普及有著特別的興趣。他擁有物理學博士學位,但曾就讀於專注於人文、藝術、拉丁文和希臘文的古典文理學院,因此他始終保持著多學科的視野,並對科學與藝術之間的聯繫產生了特別的熱情。近年來,他對達文西(Leonardo)的科學作品特別關注,並參加了許多相關的會議和節慶。本書是伊諾岑齊教授希望讓一般讀者更了解科學和技術知識多面向起源的結果。
