Leonardo da Vinci. Treatise on Painting. A new Translation with Commentary of the Codex Urbinas 1270 (Bibliotheca Vaticana)

列奥纳多达芬奇的《皮图拉书》是文艺复兴时期最重要的作品之一。手稿远远超出了纯粹的艺术理论论文的范围，呈现了自然哲学，医学和技术见解与画家的实践和伦理学的独特综合，从而包含了十五世纪末和十六世纪初的当代知识。尽管文本具有突出的知识意义，但其复杂的版本历史是非常困难的。这本书是一个片段，由列奥纳多的许多笔记和图纸组成，这些笔记和图纸被总结在主题段落中。Libro的原始版本是所谓的Codex Urbinas 1270，保存在罗马的梵蒂冈图书馆。这要追溯到列奥纳多的学生和合作者弗朗切斯科·梅尔齐的编纂工作，他在1519年列奥纳多去世后继承了他的记录。1882年，画家兼艺术作家海因里希·路德维希（Heinrich Ludwig）出版了乌尔比纳斯法典1270（梵蒂冈）的第一个德语译本，共三卷。直到今天，它仍然是最全面的列奥纳多的绘画论文德语版。鉴于列奥纳多研究的巨大活力，特别是在过去的七十年里，迫切需要更新世纪海因里希路德维希的列奥纳多论文的版本。这一点特别涉及评论，但也适用于翻译。在这两个领域，列奥纳多的《皮图拉书》（Libro di Pittura）是文艺复兴时期艺术理论和科学史上最复杂的论文，它的现代版是一个重要的需求。在其不同的起源和版本的背景下，列奥纳多的《皮图拉书》及其各种来源的重叠，只能被理解为一个开放的实验领域，它改变了理解文本权威和真实性的界限。但它的形式本身也构成了手稿的现代性。它的800多个单独的文本，在其丰富的多样性，他们的变化，矛盾和冗余，让我们跟踪列奥纳多的艺术和科学思想的智力动力。该项目的目的是重新发行列奥纳多的论文与一个团队的九个著名学者的早期现代艺术，哲学和科学史的合作。我们想更新的世纪语言的海因里希路德维希在现代翻译。特别重要的是评论，其中考虑到了巨大的数额列奥纳多奖学金在过去140年。这包括，特别是光学和透视，解剖学，植物学，气象学，美学以及文本的艺术理论和道德哲学方面的研究。

Leonardo da Vinci's Libro di Pittura is one of the most important writings of the Renaissance. The manuscript goes far beyond the scope of a purely art-theoretical treatise, presenting a unique synthesis of natural-philosophical, medical, and technological insights with the practice and ethics of the painter, thus containing a sum of contemporary knowledge in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth centuries. Despite the outstanding intellectual significance of the text, its complex edition history is comparably difficult. The book is a fragment, consisting of numerous notes and drawings of Leonardo, which were summarized in thematic passages. The original version of the Libro is the so-called Codex Urbinas 1270 in the Vatican Library in Rome. It goes back to the compiling work of Leonardo's pupil and collaborator Francesco Melzi, who inherited his records in 1519 after the death of Leonardo. The first German translation of the Codex Urbinas 1270 (Vaticanus) was published in three volumes in 1882 by the painter and art writer Heinrich Ludwig. It has remained to this day the most comprehensive German edition of Leonardo's painting treatise. In view of the tremendous dynamism of Leonardo's research, especially in the last seventy years, there is an urgent need to update the edition of Leonardo’s treatise by Heinrich Ludwig from the nineteenth century. This concerns in particular the comment, but can also apply to the translation. In both fields, a modern edition of the Libro di Pittura by Leonardo, the most complex treatise in the Renaissance for art theory as well as for history of science, is an important desideratum. Against the backdrop of its varied origins and editions, Leonardo's Libro di Pittura, with its overlapping of various sources, can only be understood as an open field of experimentation that shifts the boundaries of understanding textual authority and authenticity. But its very form constitutes also the modernity of the manuscript. Its more than eight hundred individual texts, in their rich diversity, their variations, contradictions and redundancies, allow us to track down the intellectual dynamics of Leonardo's artistic and scientific thinking. The aim of the project is to reissue Leonardo’s treatise in collaboration with a team of nine renowned scholars of early modern art, philosophy, and history of science. We want to update of the 19th century language of Heinrich Ludwig in a moderntranslation. Of particular importance is the commentary, which takes into account the tremendous amount of Leonardo scholarship in the last 140 years. This includes, in particular, research on optics and perspective, anatomy, botany, meteorology, aesthetics as well as the art-theoretical and moral-philosophical aspects of the text.
