The applied mechanics terminology used in the Madrid and Atlantic Codices is here collected and analyzed in light of the most up-to-date tools now available in both linguistic and Leonardian fields. For every headword the Glossary lists meaning, example and parallels drawn from other sources. Therefore, the volume presents itself as a useful tool for penetrating Leonardo's intellectual experience and for understanding its ties to the historical context as well as its deep originality.
