Codex Arundel
Codex Arundel, (British Library, Arundel, 263) is a bound collection of pages of notes written by Leonardo da Vinci and dating mostly from between 1480 and 1518. The codex contains a number of treatises on a variety of subjects, including mechanics and geometry. The name of the codex came from the Earl of Arundel, who acquired it in Spain in the 1630s. It forms part of the British Library Arundel Manuscripts.
== Description ==
The manuscript contains 283 paper leaves of various size, most of them approximately 22 cm x 16 cm.〔 Only a few of the leaves are blank. Two folios, 100 and 101, were incorrectly numbered twice. The codex is a collection of Leonardo's manuscripts originating from every period in his working life, a span of 40 years from 1478 to 1518.〔Carlo Pedretti, (Introduction to Leonardo's Codex Arundel )〕 It contains short treatises, notes and drawings on a variety of subjects from mechanics to the flight of birds. From Leonardo's text, it appears that he gathered the pages together, with the intention of ordering and possibly publishing them.〔 Leonardo customarily used a single folio sheet of paper for each subject, so that each folio presented as a small cohesive treatise on an aspect of the subject, spread across both back and front of a number of pages. This arrangement has been lost by later book binders who have cut the folios into pages and laid them on top of each other, thereby separating many subjects into several sections and resulting in an arrangement which appears random.〔Katrina Dean, ''Keeping books of nature: An introduction to Leonardo da Vinci’s Codices Arundel and Leicester'', British Library ()〕
It is similar to the Codex Leicester, which is also a compilation of the notes, diagrams and sketches.〔 The Codex Arundel is recognized as second in importance to the Codex Atlanticus.〔
