		The codex was an improvement upon the scroll, which it gradually replaced as the written medium.
		From the fourth century, when the codex gained wide acceptance, to the Carolingian Renaissance in the eighth century, many works that were not converted from scroll to codex were lost to posterity.
		The codex also made it easier to organize documents in a library because it had a stable spine on which the title of the book could be written.

		Since its discovery in 1860, the Madrid Codex, named for the city where it was found after hundreds of years of obscurity and where it rests today, has illuminated many mysteries of ancient Mayan culture, religion, and scholarship.
		Scholars believe the codex may be a 14th- or 15th-century copy of Mayan scholarship from the peak of the civilization's power.
		Leonardo da Vinci, the Renaissance artist, scientist, and thinker, wrote the Codex Leicester in Milan between 1506 and 1510 on 18 loose, double-sided sheets of linen paper.

		Bill Gates and Corbis allowed a display of the original manuscript, and Leonardo's Codex Leicester: A Masterpiece of Science was the main focus of the exhibit.
		The Codex Leicester inspires people because it gives us insight into the mind of Leonardo's creative genuis in general and the scientific process in particular.
		The Codex embraces a wide variety of topics from astronomy to hydrodynamics, and includes Leonardo's observations and theories from rivers to seas; rocks and fossils; and celestial light.

		The Codex Hammer, formerly called the Codex Leicester, was purchased by collector Armand Hammer in 1980.
		(Codex is classical Latin term meaning "manuscript.") The Codex, in an 18th century binding when purchased by Hammer, was unbound by conservators to better preserve the document and to permit public display of individual sheets.
		JPL work on the Codex Hammer was funded by the Los Angeles County Museum of Art through grant from the Armand Hammer Foundation.

		The Codex Leicester is a collection of largely scientific writings by Leonardo da Vinci.
		The manuscript does not take the form of a single linear script, but is rather a mixture of Leonardo's observations and theories on astronomy, the properties of water, rocks and fossils, air and celestial light.
		The Codex is put on public display once a year in a different city around the world.

	Review: Leonardo da Vinci
		While all this is very stimulating, we are not told about an earlier edition of the Codex Leicester by Gerolamo Calvi (1909), or about Pedretti’s edition, where it was called it the Codex Hammer, nor are we given a serious explanation why the pages have been re-arranged.
		For instance, in the section on the Codex Leicester, the background image is a polygon taken from the Codex Atlanticus, which has no connection at all with the treatise at hand.
		It is a complement to his modesty that, in marked contrast to the last owner, he continues to refer to it as the Codex Leicester.

		These strict conditions may be partly because the sheets of the Codex Leicester are lent more frequently to exhibitions than the Leonardos in the British collections, and they therefore get more exposure to potentially damaging light.
		It was also suggested that the Codex Leicester sheets on display could be changed halfway through the four-month exhibition, with nine on show at any one time.
		The V&A’s guest curator, Professor Martin Kemp, was very disappointed not to be able to display the Codex Leicester, and described Mr Gates’ terms as “inoperable for the show as a whole and excessively expensive to implement”.

		Known as the Codex Leicester, it remained in his ancestral home until American businessman Armand Hammer bought it in 1980, renaming it the Codex Hammer.
		The Codex will spend most of its time there, in darkness as complete as the darkness it enjoyed in its trunk in Rome.
		Along with his dissertations on flight, anatomy and military weapons, his reflections on water, moonlight and the placement of fossils are expressed in a magpie compilation of scientific speculation and ink drawings.

		The Codex Leicester, which is one of those notebooks, was exhibited in New York and, like his others, is written backwards, by Leonardo, in ancient Italian.
		There is no other codex named after an individual, and this is the only codex of da Vinci that is in private hands.
		One of the nice things about the exhibition in NY is that you can see the codex itself, and then you can move to a computer station that's adjacent and you can read the same words in English, going in the right direction, that you haven't been able to see on the actual codex.

		The scallop-edged sphere at the bottom of the page represents the waves on the surface of the moon, with rays of light striking them and rebounding.
		The pages of the Codex Leicester are filled with Leonardo's observations and speculations on a wide range of natural phenomena, including these:
		Water is of such agility that the motion of any wave, be it at the bottom, in the middle, or above, will never be hindered by the motion of another wave which were to come its ways.

		The Codex Ark has been inspired by the notebooks (or codices) of Leonardo da Vinci and will continue to encourage children to explore the world around them in the same spirit of intellectual curiosity.

		The Codex Leicester includes very little explicit mathematics, though the influence of mathematics on Leonardo's thinking is certainly evident in the way he approached the interactions of waves and bubbles and in other topics.

		The codex is the centerpiece of a new CD-ROM on Leonardo da Vinci from Gates's multimedia and photo-licensing company, Corbis Corporation.
		That said, the portions of the CD devoted to the codex itself are a felicitous marriage of medium to content.
		Nevertheless, it's safe to assume that the choice of an arcane scientific manuscript as centerpiece of an "edutainment" CD owes much to the fact that the owner of Corbis is the owner of the document.

		Fred Schroeder, an art consultant who represents Gates on the codex, said he was disappointed that an agreement had not been reached, and added that the notebook will be shown in its entirety in Dublin next year.

		The disk, "Leonardo da Vinci", is based upon a digitised version of the Codex Leicester, a 36-page notebook that Gates purchased anonymously at auction for $30.8m.
		The authors have reconnected the threads of Leonardo's arguments through a nifty piece of user interface design that does a better job of untangling Leonardo's notes, and hence his thought processes, than any previous rendition of his work.
		Armed with the Codescope we can explore the Codex Leicester's vast range of subjects, including the properties of water, the phases of the moon, light and shade, mechanics, hydraulics, astronomy, cosmology, paleontology and geology.
