The Codex Atlanticus is a twelve-volume, bound set of drawings and writings (codex) by Leonardo da Vinci, one of the most influential artists and scientists of the Italian Renaissance. Named after the Atlantic Ocean for its monumental size, it is the largest collection of Leonardo's papers, covering a wide range of his interests and genius, from art to anatomy, and engineering to astronomy. Compiled over more than 40 years, from 1478 to 1519, the Codex showcases Leonardo's insatiable curiosity and unparalleled ability to observe and document the world around him.

The Codex Atlanticus spans approximately 1,119 leaves, containing over 2,000 pages filled with about 1,750 detailed drawings and notes. These documents provide insight into Leonardo's thought processes, experimental designs, and visionary inventions. It includes studies for some of his most famous artworks, such as the Virgin of the Rocks and The Last Supper, as well as intricate engineering designs, from flying machines and military tanks to hydraulic pumps and bridges. Moreover, the Codex reflects Leonardo's studies in physics, mechanics, geometry, astronomy, botany, and anatomy, underscoring his reputation as a polymath.

Initially collected by the sculptor Pompeo Leoni in the late 16th century, the Codex was later named "Atlanticus" for its impressive size, akin to an atlas. Over the centuries, the Codex has been housed in various locations, with the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan, Italy, becoming its primary home since 1637. Despite its historical significance, the Codex Atlanticus has faced challenges, including damage, dispersal, and restoration efforts, which have sparked debates among scholars regarding its preservation and interpretation.

The Codex Atlanticus stands as a testament to Leonardo da Vinci's extraordinary breadth of interests and his enduring legacy as a figure who epitomized the Renaissance ideal of the universal genius. Its pages offer a unique window into the mind of one of history's most brilliant individuals, providing invaluable insights into the intersection of art, science, and technology during the Renaissance.
