Dated between 1493 and 1496, the Codex Forster III collects studies on solid geometry, measurements and advanced mechanical instruments. Leonardo analyses the concept of equilibrium, force and resistance, laying the foundations for principles that would be developed centuries later in modern physics. The manuscript is a testimony to his commitment to understanding the laws of nature.
