About the author
Leonardo da Vinci
796 books1,509 followersIt was on April 15, 1452, that Leonardo was born in the town of Vinci, Republic of Florence, in what is now in Italy, the illegitimate son of a notary and a barmaid. It is from his birthplace that he is known as Leonardo da Vinci. Leonardo seemed to master every subject to which he turned his attention: he was a painter, draftsman, sculptor, architect, and engineer, wrote poetry and stories: the prototype Renaissance man!
His Last Supper (1495-97) and Mona Lisa (La Gioconda, 1503-06) are among the most popular paintings from the Renaissance. He and his rival Michelangelo did great service to the medical arts by accurate paintings of dissections, which were only occasionally allowed by the Church. Yet, his artistry appeared to be an afterthought, as he frequently left his works unfinished, and only about fifteen of his paintings survive. His notebooks reveal that he was centuries ahead of his time in mechanics and physic, fortifications, bridges, weapons, and river diversions to flood the enemy, which aided Italian city-states in their many wars.
Leonardo was an early evolutionist regarding fossils. Through his careful observations he noted that “if the shells had been carried by the muddy deluge they would have been mixed up, and separated from each other amidst the mud, and not in regular steps and layers — as we see them now in our time.” Leonardo reasoned that what is now dry land, where these aquatic fossils were found, must once have been covered by seawater.
He was for a short time accused of homosexuality: there is no evidence Leonardo had any sexual interest in women. As he wrote in his notebooks, “The act of procreation and anything that has any relation to it is so disgusting that human beings would soon die out if there were no pretty faces and sensuous dispositions.”
And what of his religion? It is significant that at the end of his life he felt he had much spiritual negligence to atone for. His first biographer, Giorgio Vasari, wrote in 1550:
"Finally, …feeling himself near to death, [he] asked to have himself diligently informed of the teaching of the Catholic faith, and of the good way and holy Christian religion; and then, with many moans, he confessed and was penitent; and … was pleased to take devoutly the most holy Sacrament, out of his bed. The King, who was wont often and lovingly to visit him, then came into the room; wherefore he, out of reverence … showed withal how much he had offended God and mankind in not having worked at his art as he should have done."
There was much skepticism in Renaissance Italy at the time, and Leonardo was an intellectual genius, not just an artistic genius. While there was great intellectual freedom during the Italian Renaissance, there were limits as long as the Dominicans, the “Hounds of the Lord,” were active. This semblance of a deathbed conversion, by so critical a thinker and so great a genius as Leonardo, who would have nothing to lose by professing piety all his life, can only mean that during his prime years he was a secret freethinker.
Leonardo died quietly on the 2 of May, 1519, a few weeks following his 67th birthday.

Kâzım Taşkent serisi materyal olarak bizi mutlu ederken bir de biyografisi güçlü karakterlerle alâkalı inceleme/araştırma eserler basıyor olması ayrıca mutlu ediyor.
Da Vinci'nin kendi çağında ve sonraki çağlarda büyük bir ışık işçisi olduğu tüm dünya tarafından kabul edilmiştir. Fakat geriye bıraktığı eserlerin, yarım eserlerin, günlüklerin, notların ve daha birçok yarım kalmış yazı, taslak gibi çalışmaların toplanmış hali diyebiliriz, kitap için.
İlginç olan Da Vinci'nin küçük kısa masallarından, kehanetlerine, o günkü dünya ve sistemle alâkalı görüşlerini nükteler yoluyla anlatmasına kadar her şey kitapta kısa kısa sıkmadan anlatılmış. Bazı noktalar yarım ve eksik kalmış bunun sebebi ise notlarının elden ele geçerken hep bir eksilme yaşamış olması.
Kitap her türden okuyucunun rafında olmalı çünkü Da Vinci' bilim, sanat, dünya ve insana dair her alana kafayı takmış ve bu alanda en azından iki cümle etmiş gibi.
Saygılar.

Leonardo Da Vinci’nin kaleme aldığı masallar, mektuplar ve notlardan oluşan "Yazılar: Masallar, Kehanetler, Nükteler ve Diğerleri", Da Vinci’ye sanatının dışında daha farklı bir açıdan bakmamızı sağlıyor. Notların bir araya getirilmesi sebebiyle bütünlük taşımayan bir eser olması sebebiyle okunmasının çok da kolay olduğunu söylemeyeceğim. Buna rağmen, okudukça Da Vinci’nin kişiliği hakkında daha fazla bilgi edinebildiğiniz eserin kitaplığınızda bulunmasını tavsiye ederim. Özellikle efsanevi bilgenin bir sürü konudaki öğrenme hevesi ve araştırmaları gerçekten takdire şayan. Tam notum: 3,5/5.

Bak, kökenine, ilk kaosa geri dönme umut ve arzusu, insanı mum karşısındaki kelebeğe benzer kılar; insan, sürekli arzularla, hep bir şenlik havasıyla yeni baharı, hep yeni yazı, hep yeni ayları, yeni yılları bekler; arzu ettiği şeyler geldiğinde, çok geçmiş gibi gelir ona, oysa kendi yok oluşunu arzuladığını fark etmez.

Leonardo da Vinci’nin mahrem notları. En azından bu haliyle yayınlama amacı olmayan, yer yer yarım bırakılmış, üslüp denemeleri nedeniyle belli bölümleri tekrar tekrar yazılmış notları. Da Vinci’nin felsefi düşüncelerini, sanatını icra ederken kafasından geçen düşüncelerini öğrenmek isteyenler için yetersiz zira sayfalarca günlük meselelerine dair mektuplar ve Latince öğrenme merakıyla yazdığı dilbilgisel kuralları açıklayan yazılar var. Yine de belli bölümlerde düşünce dünyasına dair birçok ipucu elde edebiliyoruz zira bu notlar mahrem notlar, yani da Vinci tarafından herhangi bir süzgeçten geçirilmemiş. Bu da planlanmış felsefi düşüncelerden ziyade sanatçının bilinçaltını sunuyor okuyucuya.
