Do you like this #Facsimile? Then contact us under contact@ or visit our homepage: With their treatise on the golden ratio and its application to various arts, the mathematician Luca #Pacioli and the painter Leonardo #daVinci managed to create a work, which was the most-widely disseminated mathematical work for several centuries. Thanks to its clearly understandable texts and gorgeous and interesting #illustrations, it has lost none of its impact outside of mathematical circles. The text consisting of three separate #manuscripts originated ca. 1488 in Milan and was published on the 1st of July, 1509 in Venice. Particularly worthy of note are da Vinci’s illustrations, which follow the text and are probably the first depictions of skeletons to make possible the distinction of the front side from the back. You can find this and many other facsimiles under:
