The quintessential Renaissance Man, Leonardo da Vinci was well aware of the fundamental importance of mathematics for architecture. This issue of the Nexus Network Journal examines Leonardo’s knowledge of theoretical mathematics, explores how he used concepts of geometry in his designs for architectural projects, and reports on a real-life construction project using Leonardo’s principles. Authors include Sylvie Duvernoy, Kim Williams, Rinus Roelofs, Biagio Di Carlo, Mark Reynolds, João Pedro Xavier, Vesna Petresin, Christopher Glass, and Jane Burry. To complete the issue Rachel Fletcher writes her Geometer’s Angle column on "Dynamic Symmetry", Michael Ostwald reviews A Theory of General Ethics by Warwick Fox, Sarah Clough Edwards reviews Inigo Jones and the Classical Tradition by Christy Anderson, and Sylvie Duvernoy reviews Architecture and Mathematics in Ancient Egypt by Corinna Rossi.

Les valeurs les plus consacrées ont leur histoire. Ce « Tombeau de Léonard de Vinci » rassemble et analyse les textes qui à l’époque des Décadents et des Symbolistes ont contribué à faire de Léonard et de la Joconde les modèles de référence de la culture picturale occidentale. À un moment où les sciences et les techniques occupent une place dans la civilisation moderne qui interroge nécessairement la capacité des pratiques culturelles traditionnelles, Léonard de Vinci, esprit universel et peintre, apparaît comme une figure mythique de conciliation des antagonismes. À un moment où la peinture « moderne » et la photographie mettent en crise la fonction « réaliste » du tableau, la Joconde, un portrait, devient le plus beau tableau du monde. Deux absolus d’autant plus mythiques que le réel est plus irrépressiblement éclaté et la prétention interprétative totalisante des élites plus désespérément vaine. Le culte que le xixe siècle inaugure, apparaît ainsi comme la plus haute dénégation de l’impuissance de la culture telle que nous la vivons encore. Le propos n’est pas technique, il ne vise pas la « vérité », par quelque voie qu’on prétende la constituer, de Léonard et de son œuvre. Il ne s’agit que de décrire un processus complexe d’élaboration des représentations culturelles françaises en matière de peinture. Cela implique que les textes occupent le devant de la scène et que la critique d’art soit prise pour ce qu’elle est : l’organisation d’une croyance et un exercice d’écriture. La critique communique donc davantage avec la littérature qu’avec la connaissance, d’où la coexistence ici de textes qui appartiennent aussi bien à l’essai qu’au roman et qui sont produits par Taine, Michelet, Barrés, Valéry, Laforgue, Péladan... mais aussi, le vincisme français convoquant l’Europe, par Walter Pater, D’Annunzio ou Merejkovsky.

L'anatomie chez Leonard de Vinci est peu connue du public, medical ou non. Les nombreux ouvrages consacres a Leonard ne dissequent pas cette partie de ses multiples preoccupations. Ce livre est une premiere pour deux raisons: Les auteurs empruntent un chemin inverse de celui de Leonard: repartir vers ses origines, le dessin, par la dissection. La seconde, parce que la dissection permet, avec une technique photographique, une apprehension de la main de Leonard telle qu'elle n'a jamais ete abordee. Cinq siecles plus tard, les auteurs ont disseque ses mains, redonne vie a certaines fonctions et a

The dynamic nature of heart action and the ever changing demands on its output and power make it an organ that can only be understood by integrating form with function at every level. Our contemporary understanding of the human heart and its workings is at the cutting edge of modern medical and biological research but, even in the current era of advanced molecular biology, mathematics and engineering, we still struggle to fully decipher the complexities of the normal and diseased heart. Leonardo’s heart studies represent the pinnacle of his anatomical endeavours. In his work on the heart, his use of ingenious diagrams as well as detailed representational drawings is cleverly combined with carefully crafted verbal descriptions of complicated physiological concepts. Some of his thinking, developed through drawing, was so advanced that only now with the advent of accessible technology and advances in modern knowledge of the heart, it is possible to re-interpret Leonardo’s conclusions and to point out how accurate his logical reasoning and pure observation really was. Several of his ideas continue to sit well alongside our modern understanding of cardiac physiology and heart function. This book will feature all of Leonardo's drawings on the heart and its physiology, accompanied by translations of his accompanying notes. The veracity of Leonardo's work is proven against contemporary dissections of cardiac structure and wherever possible, his illustrations are compared with contemporary images generated by magnetic resonance scanners and high definition ultrasound. It represents the only modern interpretation of Leonardo’s works by a practicing clinician and anatomist in a way that is meaningful to cardiology and medical specialists as well as art historians, and the general public.
