Using unique multimedia technology, Corbis brings new accessibility to the mind and genius of the original "Renaissance man." Inspired by the Codex Leicester, which was created around 1508, the "Leonardo da Vinci" CD-ROM focuses on nature and science and their relationship to art. Starting with Leonardo da Vinci's seldom-seen personal notebook and journal, the Codex Leicester, the CD-ROM explores Leonardo's thoughts and how he saw the world, as well as his ideas and inventions.

A masterful examination of the differences and similarities in the sciences and the arts. -- Jamie Wyeth
