D s les premi res ann es du 15i me si cle, Poggio Bracciolini, la recherche de manuscrits rares, parcourait pays, duch s et comt s et passait l'essentiel de son temps dans les biblioth ques, celles des cours seigneuriales mais aussi celles particuli rement fournies des monast res. Certaines de ses trouvailles l'ont d finitivement rendu c l bre. Dans les premi res ann es de notre 21i me si cle, un bibliophile averti, M. Duilio Contin, se montra son digne h ritier dans cette noble tradition des humanistes italiens de la Renaissance. En effet, il lui fut demand d'examiner un manuscrit traitant du jeu d' checs faisant partie du fonds d'ouvrages de la Biblioth que d'une Fondation dont le si ge est situ dans une ville du nord-est de l'Italie et il le reconnut comme tant le projet autographe, vieux de 500 ans, d'un livre mythique, consid r , pendant des si cles, comme perdu. La nouvelle fit grand bruit et des experts furent imm diatement consult s. Leurs conclusions furent sans appel. Il s'agissait bien du manuscrit d'un ouvrage attribu Luca Pacioli. Un grand ma tre des checs fut appel et face l'originalit de l'oeuvre il demanda Franco Rocco, un connaisseur en mati re de pi ces de jeu d' checs, travers les ges et les pays, de vouloir bien examiner l'ouvrage. Celui-ci se mit au travail. Tr s vite, son merveillement engendra son tonnement et, comme, mais sans que cette num ration soit exhaustive: - En leurs formes respectives, les pi ces illustrant les probl mes propos s taient totalement diff rentes, bien plus l gantes et modernes que celles alors utilis es, - l' poque de la r daction de ce manuscrit, Luca Pacioli et L onard de Vinci avaient d j coop r dans l' laboration d'autre oeuvre majeure - De Divina Proportione -(les illustrations revenant L onard), - la Reine (la pi ce la plus puissante) tait repr sent e de deux mani res diff rentes, - le rendu des illustrations tait visiblement in gal, - en bref, Luca Pacioli, jouissait d'une extraordinaire r putation d' rudit, de grand math maticien et d'enseignant, mais il n'avait jamais montr le moindre don particulier qui lui aurait conf r la qualit d'artiste, il devint pour lui rigoureusement impossible que l'ensemble de l'ouvrage soit attribu une seule personne et lui vint rapidement l'esprit l'hypoth se que L onard de Vinci avait activement collabor la r alisation de l'oeuvre, aussi pour l'id ation de la forme des pi ces que pour une partie des illustrations des parties propos es. Le lecteur sera surpris de la profondeur et du s rieux tant des analyses que des constatations. Il aura parfois l'impression de lire le compte rendu d'une enqu te particuli rement minutieuse et passionnante au point d'estimer que le manuscrit a fait l'objet d'une v ritable autopsie. N'est pas ici le lieu de d voiler le pourquoi d'une telle impression. Au terme de sa lecture, il constatera que la question ne se pose plus, tout comme celle d'un autre pourquoi: l'impossibilit de mettre tout jamais la main sur une copie d' poque du trait projet . En dernier lieu, il convient de f liciter l'auteur d'avoir, en fin d'ouvrage, joint son tude sur l'Homme de Vitruve. Elle vient conforter ses conclusions, notamment par la justification d'une nouvelle utilisation du Nombre d'Or par L onard de Vinci, dans les derni res ann es du 15i me si cle. Qu'il me soit permis de m'arr ter ici. La lecture de ce livre ne souffre aucun retard. Ne rend-t-il pas hommage un ouvrage qui, depuis plus de cinq cents ans attend que l'on parle de lui en connaissance de cause ? H. P. S.

Leonard de Vinci et son cole by Alexis-Fran ois Rio. This book is a reproduction of the original book published in 1855 and may have some imperfections such as marks or hand-written notes.
He's not a stray house cat, he's an immortal being. And now he must choose whether to return to his planet or remain with his new human friend in a humorous, heart-tugging story from the author of I, Cosmo. The cat that Olive rescues from a flood has a secret: he's not really a cat at all, but an alien who crashed to Earth on a beam of light. The cat, whom Olive names Leonard, was prepared to visit the planet as a human--but something went wrong. Now Leonard may never know what it's like to hold an umbrella, go bowling, or host a dinner party. (And his human jokes still need some work: Knock, knock. Who's there? Just Leonard. It is me.) While Olive worries about whether she will have to move after her mom and her new boyfriend get back from their summer vacation, Leonard tries to figure out how to get from South Carolina to Yellowstone National Park, because if he's not there at the end of the month, he'll miss his ride home. But as Olive teaches Leonard about the beautiful and confusing world of humans, he starts to realize how much he cares about this particular one. A sweet and dryly funny story about what it means to be human--and what it means to be home.
