About LEAF

The COST Action LEonardo’s Codex Atlanticus and other miscellaneous Folio: A Digital Reconstruction (LEAF) aims to reconstruct previously unpublished hypotheses about the original arrangement of Leonardo da Vinci’s fragmented folios, now dispersed across several major collections. The main goal of LEAF is to create an open network of researchers and scholars working together to develop a comprehensive digital, multimedia collection of these reconstructed folios.
