Abstract

The magazine’s fourth issue is characterized by in-depth studies of Leonardo’s iconographic sources and his relations with his contemporaries. Contains essays dedicated to the reception of his art lessons from artists active in the first half of the Sixteenth century. The reception of Leonardo’s text – through printed editions and critical texts – is the subject of reflections on his fortune in the French and English context. The main feature of this issue is the relationship between Carlo Pedretti and André Chastel, whose archive contains interesting news about the rediscovery of Leonardo’s two Madrid Codex and the events surrounding their critical edition.
