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.
