The Trattato della pittura (Treatise of painting) by Leonardo da Vinci : a study of the English editions explaining their origins and development and comparing their structure and differences, with particular reference to the first English edition (1721), analysing its relationship to the other English editions, and defining the philosophy and significance of this Treatise

Three aspects are covered: * The origins of the Treatise, how it evolved from Leonardo's Notes, leading up to the various printed editions with their variations. *The early English editions of the Treatise, with a comparison of their differences, and their development from the first edition. How were the early editions abridged and for what purpose? *The structure of Leonardo's thought, and what he actually said in the Treatise of Painting.
