Codice Atlantico (Codex Atlanticus). Giunti, Barbera, Firenze, 1976. Il Codice Atlantico è la più vasta raccolta di documenti leonardeschi conosciuti. Alla fine del 1500 a Madrid lo scultore Pompeo Leoni con numerosi fogli e frammenti contenevano la quasi totale produzione intellettuale di Leonardo ha creato una composizione curiosa e spettacolare che rappresenta ogni aspetto del genio vinciano: l’ appassionato interesse per la meccanica e la matematica, l'astronomia, la geografia fisica, la botanica, la chimica e l'anatomia, nonché le arti figurative. Disegni per progetti tecnici innovativi, dispositivi idraulici, armi, fortificazioni, macchine volanti, imbarcazioni e automi, oltre agli studi con annotazioni teoriche e pratiche per L'Adorazione dei Magi, Leda e il cigno, e il Battaglia di Anghiari. Inoltre, al suo interno, i progetti per i monumenti equestri, mai eseguiti, a Francesco Sforza e Gian Giacomo Trivulzio, nonché i progetti architettonici per il rinnovamento urbano di Milano e la residenza reale di Romorantin in Francia. L'opera è composta da dodici volumi, in facsimile, formato 44x65 cm. e dodici volumi di testo (formato 22x30 cm. di trascrizione diplomatica e critica a cura di Augusto Marinoni e un volume contenente l'indice per materie e l'indice alfabetico a cura di Pietro C.

In 8, pp. 82 + (1). Dedica autogr. dell'aut. al p. ant. Lieve strappetto al p. post. Br. ed. Nel saggio l'autore prende in esame il futuro commerciale dell'Europa e, nello specifico, dell'Italia, sottolineando la necessita' di incrementare i rapporti con l'Oriente soprattutto grazie al taglio dell'Istmo di Suez che consente di riprendere la via per l'Oriente, interrottasi con l'apertura della rotta atlantica. In appendice alcune riflessioni sulla Valle del Po, importante snodo commerciale italo-europeo, e zona ricca di risorse economiche.
8vo., Third Impression, with a frontispiece, title-vignette, and numerous illustrations (a number full-page) in the text; pictorial cloth blocked in black, backstrip lettered in black, covers lightly age-soiled else a very good, firm copy in unclipped dustwrapper, the latter lightly browned, and frayed with minor loss (not affecting lettering) at head and tail of backstrip. Published three months after the first edition. THIS COPY WAS PRESENTED BY DONALD RUSSELL OF THE LYGON ARMS AT BROADWAY, WORCESTERSHIRE, TO E B DAVIES, FIRST LIEUTENANT OF HMS BROADWAY - A DOUBLE 'BROADWAY' CONNECTION. It carries Davies's signature and Russell's inscribed business card on front paste-down. The Town-class destroyer HMS Broadway became famous as one of three escorts (the others being HMS Aubretia and HMS Bulldog) which captured U-110 intact in May 1941. The U-boat's capture led to the first seizure of a working Enigma machine and many vital cipher documents. The capture, subsequently code-named Operation PRIMROSE, was one of the greatest secrets of the Battle of Atlantic and was not revealed until ULTRA began to be declassified in the 1970s. Donald Russell was the owner-manager of the prestigious The Lygon Arms. The hotel was purchased, restored and made famous by his father, but during WWII Donald Russell turned it into a haven for servicemen on leave. It was doubtless while Davies was staying there that Russell caught sight of the 'Broadway' connection that resulted in the presentation. It is a remarkable added coincidence that HMS Broadway and HMS Newmarket should be sister ships. 'Destroyer from America' is a vividly-written and personal account of the war service of Town-class destroyer HMS Newmarket (here thinly disguised as 'HMS Porchester'). The simple device nevertheless allows the author to describe the war in the Atlantic with much less than the usual censorship. In addition to his work as a book illustrator, the artist John Worsley is best remembered as the creator of 'Albert RN', the dummy prisoner so lifelike that it enabled a series of successful escapes from the famous naval prison camp Marlag Milag Nord. The story is told in Lewis Gilbert's well-known feature film 'Albert RN' (1953) starring Jack Warner and Anthony Steel. Law 0231 (recording the first edition).
