Abstract :
The purpose of this article is to bring to light da Vinci´s facet as a very early bioengineer who had an interdisciplinary approach to every subject he put his hands or thinking on. Many original documents and codices show this side of his monumental personality. Most of the information comes from the compendium produced by Carlo Pedretti, a world-renowned specialist in da Vinci´s works and a devoted and true Leonardist.
