Traite de la peinture
by Leonard De Vinci, edited by Anna Sconza, foreword by Pierre Rosenberg
English summary: Around the year 1490, in the court of Ludovico Sforza, duke of Milan, Leonardo da Vinci had already envisioned creating a treatise. Until his death, he wrote countless notes, which would lengthen, refine and complicate his project to the extent where it was no longer possible to properly structure it and render it publishable. Some fifty incomplete copies of this manuscript attest to the ideas and research of da Vinci during the 16th century. The first edition of the Trattato della Pittura, published in 1651, is the work of Raphael du Fresne (Paris, 1651). Written initially in Italian, then in French, it is based on a copy of the Codex Urbinas latinus 1270 belonging to Cassiano dal Pozzo. French text. French description: Vers 1490, a la cour de Ludovic le More, duc de Milan, Leonard de Vinci (1452-1519) songeait deja a composer un traite, dont le manuscrit A de la bibliotheque de l’Institut a Paris contient le projet et le premier noyau. Jusqu’a sa mort, il ne cessa de rediger des notes, elargissant, compliquant et raffinant son dessein a un point tel que le plan et la possibilite de le structurer et de le publier lui firent defaut. Apres sa mort, son heritier, Francesco Melzi, en fit faire une compilation, fidele mais inachevee et maladroite, qui est aujourd’hui le Codex Urbinas lat. 1270 de la bibliotheque Vaticane. Une cinquantaine de copies derivees et incompletes de ce manuscrit attestent la diffusion des idees et des recherches de Leonard au XVIe siecle. La premiere edition du Tratatto della Pittura, parue en 1651, est l’oeuvre de Raphael du Fresne (Paris, 1651). Ecrite d’abord en italien puis en francais, elle est basee sur une copie du Codex Urbinas latinus 1270 que possedait Cassiano dal Pozzo. L’edition de Guglielmo Manzi, parue en 1817, est la premiere basee directement sur le Codex Urbinas latinus 1270.
