Abstract: The anatomical drawings of Leonardo da Vinci are generally admired for their analytical character and graphical precision, or are studied from the perspective of the scientific discoveries which the artist made in a strictly anatomical context, or in those of pathological investigation. They may also be viewed in the light of contemporary knowledge and ideas without considering the full value and the novelty of their intended visualization. In this volume, centred on the contexts and methods of visualization, Paola Salvi looks at the theory and practice of the visual arts as the foundation of Leonardos anatomical drawings. which become a scientific contribution since their intention was to make visible the human body in all its parts, by means of the selection and reconstructive imagery of the drawings. Direct observation and the communicative value of visual language replace the tedious and scarcely useful verbal descriptions of anatomical texts of the time, leading the artist to the programmatic synthesis expressed around 1510: ""Therefore it is necessary to make a drawing of it as well as to describe it"". This volume therefore becomes not only a reinterpretation and a more conscious placement of the anatomical work of Leonardo in the context of the knowledge of the time, but is also the basis of a new historical framework for artistic anatomy and, above all, for the anatomical iconography which finds models of reconstruction which have come into their own right, in the works of Leonardo. Carlo Pedretti, who writes the foreword, defines the book as, ""an enterprise that requires courage and the ability to conduct a rigourous interpretive synthesis, qualities that once again I can not help but recognise in Paola Salvi.

Traduzione di C.V.Letizia. Milano, Adelphi 2000, cm.15x23, pp.214, brossura soprac.fig.a col. Coll.Fabula. Sir Hugo Coal non è mai stato un filantropo. Anche quando non vegetava sulla sedia a rotelle, aveva la tendenza a considerare gli esseri umani meno comprensibili ed eleganti dell'enorme scheletro di sauro che andava pazientemente ricostruendo. Ma quello che vede ora, nella sua villa, nei rari momenti in cui i suoi familiari non lo costringono a fissare una parete, gli piace anche meno. E' chiaro che Fledge, l'ambiguo maggiordomo, sta ordendo una sua trama assai sinistra. Di quella trama la moglie, la figlia e sir Hugo stesso, fanno più o meno consapevolmente parte.

Cambridge at the University Press 1970, cm.14,5x22, pp.VIII,212, 1 map hardcover, clothbound, dust jacket. Coll:Anglica germanica Series,2. Ferdinand Raimund (1790–1836) was a noted comic actor in the tradition of the Viennese Popular Theatre. He wrote plays to suit the talents of his ensemble at the Leopoldstadt comedy theatre and to entertain the Viennese community, but a powerful ambition to rise above the merely local drove him to develop the conventional dramatic forms beyond their traditional limits. Dorothy Prohaska examines his plays, and discusses their local characteristics as well as their individuality. She is closely informed about the Vienna of the time, and many sections of the book, showing in detail how the plays draw on contemporary life, are full of colourful detail about the city itself. She reveals the complexity of Raimund's development as a playwright within the popular tradition and assesses his achievement as an original dramatist.
