Appel à publication : articles pour « Leonardo Studies » (2016)

 

98874

The Festschrift honoring Carlo Pedretti, the great scholar of Leonardo da Vinci, has been published by Brill. Fittingly, this marks the first volume of a new book series, Leonardo Studies.

The co-editors seek articles of c. 10,000-15,000 words on any topic concerning Leonardo da Vinci, but particularly those that employ collaborative or cross-disciplinary work. We welcome new research on mechanics, architecture, studies of water or motion, and nature.

Book-length manuscripts are also considered. Please send a proposal or your finished work to Prof. Constance Moffatt (artitalia@ca.rr.com) and to Dr. Sara Taglialagamba (saraart77@yahoo.com).
