The Codex Atlanticus is a collection of drawings and writings by Leonardo Da Vinci.  In the collection are various subjects from flight and weaponry to musical instruments, mathematics, and botany. The Codex contains 435 pages of pure genius. Most of the manuscript consists of drawings and diagrams.  In true Da Vinci style, the manuscript is written in a dialect of Italian, backwards, reflected in a mirror. Good luck reading it!
