e-Leo, archivio digitale della Biblioteca leonardiana di Vinci: un’esperienza di valorizzazione, fruizione e comunicazione

Keywords: digital library, digitization, Leonardo da Vinci, accessibility, conservation
e-Leo. Archivio digitale di storia della tecnica e della scienza was conceived and developed by the Biblioteca leonardiana at Vinci, a research and documentary centre specialized on Leonardo da Vinci, with the aim of supplying a more advanced resource for the study and analysis of Leonardo da Vinci’s works and of promoting the library collection. The e-Leo experiment stems from the very particular nature of this collection, which includes the entire published corpus of Leonardo da Vinci’s works, starting with the first edition of the Treatise on Painting of 1651. Since 2007 e-Leo has been the only almost complete online publication of Leonardo’s works. In 2019 it was refactored and graphically restyled, and developed also to be accessed via smartphones and tablet devices. The data in the archive are texts and drawings, which can be searched for and classified by means of indexing methods for full-text-search, drawing searching and linguistic search through semantic glossaries: an apparatus that will propose an integrated processing model for a broader and more generalized treatment, with similar criteria, of technical-scientific texts from the late medieval and Renaissance periods.
