The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci
PREFACE
A singular fatality has ruled the destiny of nearly all the most famous of Leonardo da Vinci's works. Two of the three most important were never completed, obstacles having arisen during his life-time, which obliged him to leave them unfinished; namely the Sforza Monument and the Wall-painting of the Battle of Anghiari, while the third--the picture of the Last Supper at Milan--has suffered irremediable injury from decay and the repeated restorations to which it was recklessly subjected during the XVIIth and XVIIIth centuries. Nevertheless, no other picture of the Renaissance has become so wellknown and popular through copies of every descri...

In the Devolutionist, space travelers experiment with Venusian methods of telepathic space travel. They leave our solar system to discover and explore the earthlike planet Capellette of the star Capella. In the Emancipatrix, they go to the planet Sanus of the star Arcturus.

The Topics is is the fifth of Aristotle's six texts on logic which are collectively known as the Organon ("Instrument"). The Topics constitutes Aristotle's treatise on the art of dialectic—the invention and discovery of arguments in which the propositions rest upon commonly-held opinions or endoxa. Topoi are "places" from which such arguments can be discovered or invented. In his treatise on the Topics, Aristotle does not explicitly define a topos, though it is "at least primarily a strategy for argument not infrequently justified or explained by a principle."

Een schrijver die vrij hardhandig met de nukken en grillen van de toekomst kennis maakte, was de negentiende-eeuwse professor Pieter Harting (pseudoniem: dr. Dioscorides). Het probleem was niet zozeer dat het voorspelde niet uitkwam, maar dat het hinderlijk vroeg uitkwam. Het leek of de toekomst een loopje met Harting nam. Nog maar net had hij in 1865 in zijn boek ‘Anno 2065’ geschreven over allerhande technische wonderen die in dat jaar te verwachten zouden zijn, of de toekomst had hem ingehaald. In 1870, toen de - geactualiseerde - derde druk van Hartings boek ter perse ging onder (hoe kan het anders) de titel ‘Anno 2070’, moest Harting melden dat de door hem voor het jaar 2065 voorzien...
