Описание: В 1966 году в Национальной библиотеке в Мадриде были обнаружены два манускрипта, написанные Леонардо. Когда-то они не были учтены при каталогизации, и об их существовании не было известно. Этим двум манускриптам дали условные названия «Мадридский кодекс I» и «Мадридский кодекс II».
«Мадридский кодекс I» состоит из 192 листов 1490—1499 годов написания, содержащих изображения различных механизмов и изложения теории механики. Хотя работа и посвящена механике, в ней есть заметки по астрономии и по оптике.
«Мадридский кодекс II» был создан Леонардо в 1503—1505 гг. и состоит из 158 листов. Он собрал исследования в области геометрии, такие, например, как «квадратуры круга». Кроме этого, в нём содержатся работы по перспективе и оптике. В книге можно найти эскизы морских и топографических карт, рассматриваются проблемы военной техники и архитектуры. Самое интересное в этом кодексе — неосуществлённый проект изменения русла реки Арно, эскизы фрески «Битва при Ангиари» и конного памятника Франческо Сфорца.

Sample text
König and Bräuninger indicate, parallel to what happened in Nice, that member states would only accept a lower voting quota to increase the Union’s effectiveness provided the actual balance between member states is preserved by changing the member states’ voting weights. Bernard Steunenberg in Chapter 6 discusses the effects of enlargement in terms of the Union’s ability to make new decisions (‘policy flexibility,’ or effectiveness in König and Bräuninger’s terminology), and the power to the individual member states.
What it cannot do is combine these measures, nor account for the power of different bodies where the rules of procedure are not straightforward voting games. Here we need to move to the non-cooperative game theory approach. Spatial analysis can demonstrate the way in which different actors manage to produce outcomes in their favour through coalition formation with like-minded actors. It can show how the EU may operate in ways that the constitutional designers did not intend. Importantly, it has been argued that the conditional agenda power of supranational bodies such as Parliament, the Commission and the European Court of Justice enables the selection among a set of possible equilibria, accelerates European integration and dilutes responsibility for politically unpopular measures.
