The Mind of Leonardo da Vinci

Sinopsis del Libro

In this classic, engrossing text, a distinguished historian explores the mind and manifold interests of the greatest personality of the Renaissance. More than just a biography, the book presents a detailed investigation of Leonardo da Vinci's genius. Its colorful, evocative prose offers numerous demonstrations of the master's achievements, not only in sculpture and painting, but also in music, engineering, and even experimental aviation. A renowned authority on the works and personality of Leonardo, author Edward McCurdy translated many of the artist's writings. "In the thousands of pages of his manuscript he has left the mirror of his thought," McCurdy observes, "and there his mind may be seen at work, moving among the phenomena of nature and the inherited knowledge of antiquity, trying all things, expounding all things, proving all things." McCurdy begins by tracing the artist's travels, from his native Florence to Milan, Venice, Rome, and France. Part Two examines the manuscripts and their philosophical revelations, and the third section assesses the paintings and sculpture. First published in 1928, this book remains one of the best introductions to Leonardo and his extraordinary versatility.

La verbena de la Paloma

Teniendo en cuenta que nos ocupamos del título más representativo del llamado Género Chico en el teatro lirico español, que se considera, junto a La Revoltosa, las dos composiciones que sintetizan y atesoran lo mejor del sainete lírico propio de este género, la presente edición de una puesta en escena de La verbena de La Paloma es de gran utilidad para comprobar el camino a recorrer por la Dirección de Escena y el trabajo de dramaturgia que toda puesta en escena conlleva. De ese modo en este libro observaremos que en los primeros capítulos se nos informa de los materiales históricos ...

La història dels llenguatges iberoromànics d’especialitat (segles XVII-XIX).

Les solucions en la formació de terminologies i de tipus de textos especialitzats que ofereixen les èpoques anteriors poden guiar les solucions que s’han de proposar avui, i poden contribuir a l’harmonització dels models actuals. Els estudis i balanços publicats durant els últims anys demostren la importància d’un enfocament històric en aquest àmbit, que es trobava a faltar per a les llengües iberoromàniques. Tenint en compte aquesta situació, es va organitzar el col·loqui La història dels llenguatges iberoromànics d’especialitat (segles XVII-XIX). Solucions per al...
