Title page of Divina proportione, by Luca Pacioli and illustrated by Leonardo da Vinci
L'icosaedro è una figura composta da 20 facce, tutte uguali tra loro. L'icosaedro a cui Platone lega l'elemento dell'acqua è, però, composto da venti facce triangolari:
"[...] e poi all'acqua la forma meno mobile delle altre (icosaedro)"
Marvel at the divine proportions of this capital A! This is from the book Divina proportione by Luca Pacioli, who applied the golden ratio to art and design, including typography. The woodcuts for this book were designed by Pacioli's friend, Leonardo da Vinci. ⠀ ⠀ Rare Vault NC745.A2 P3 ⠀ ⠀ #typetuesday #typographytuesday #design #art #typography #pacioli #davinci #rarebooks #specialcollections #iglibraries #librariesofinstagram #mizzou #ellislibrary #columbiamo (at Ellis Library)
