He was the miracle of that age of miracles. Ardent and versatile as youth, patient and persevering as age, a most profound and original thinker, the greatest mathematician and most ingenious mechanic of his time, architect, chemist, engineer, musician, poet, painter—we are not only astounded by the variety of his natural gifts and acquired knowledge, but by the practical direction of his amazing powers.  \n1. ardent:  \na. lingering  \nb. passionate  \nc. uninterested  \nd. weak  \n2. versatile:  \na. capable of easily moving from one task to another  \nb. eager to make a positive impression  \nc. inappropriate for discussion  \nd. unwilling to make extreme sacrifices  \n3. According to popular opinion, Leonardo da Vinci does not seem to have had anything in common with the Renaissance age in which he lived.  \na. True  \nb. False  \nThe extracts which have been published in da Vinci’s own handwriting show him to have anticipated, by the force of his own immense intellect, some of the greatest discoveries made since his time.  \n4. immense:  \na. extreme  \nb. mediocre  \nc. pungent  \nd. vast  \n\"These fragments are, according to our common estimate of the age in which he lived, more like revelations of physical truths vouchsafed to a single mind than the superstructure of its reasoning upon any established basis,\" says the historian, Mr. Hallam.\"The discoveries which made Galileo, Kepler, Castelli, and other names  \nillustrious; the system of Copernicus, the very theories of recent geologists, are anticipated by Da Vinci within the compass of a few pages, not perhaps in the most precise language, or on the most conclusive reasoning, but so as to strike us with something like the awe of preternatural knowledge.  \n5. revelations:  \na. disclosures  \nb. dreams  \nc. fixed ideas  \nd. secrets  \n6. superstructure  \na. large cathedral style popular during the Renaissance  \nb. part of a building above the foundation  \nc. skyscraper  \nd. Walmart superstore  \n7. anticipated:  \na. hoped for  \nb. idealized  \nc. realized beforehand  \nd. unrecognized  \n8. preternatural:  \na. abnormal  \n[b. de](b. de) rigueur  \nc. regular  \nd. terrible  \n\"In an age of so much dogmatism he first laid down the grand principle of Bacon, that experiment and observation must bethe guides to just theory in the investigation of nature. If any doubt could be harbored, not as to the right of Leonardo da Vinci to stand as the first name of the fifteenth century, which is beyond all doubt, but as to his originality in so many discoveries, which probably no one man, especially in such circumstances, has ever made, it must be by an hypothesis not very untenable, that some parts of physical science had already attained a height which mere books do not record.\"  \n9. dogmatism:  \na. arrogant positivism of opinions as truths  \nb. enthusiasm  \n[c. love](c. love) of canine creatures  \nd. pedantry  \n10. hypothesis:  \na. logical proposition that explains a phenomenon  \nb. opinion about what caused something to be  \nc. opposite of something else in meaning or intent  \nd. sensitivity to extremes of hot and cold  \n11. untenable:  \na. absolutely right  \nb. indefensible  \nc. innumerable  \nd. uncontrollable  \nIt seems at first sight almost incomprehensible that, thus endowed as a philosopher, mechanic, inventor, and discoverer, the fame of Leonardo should now rest on the works he has left as a painter. We cannot, within these limits, attempt to explain why and how it is that as the man of science he has been naturally and necessarily left behind by the onward march of intellectual progress, while as the poet-painter he still survives asa presence and a power. We must proceed at once to give some account of him in the character in which he exists ","cbCaiqo43VaibBSs","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiqo43VaibBSs","pdf",504555,18,"English","# Student Handouts\n## Leonardo da Vinci overview\n## Reading excerpts and quotations\n## Vocabulary and multiple-choice exercises\n## Comprehension questions","[{\"question\":\"What does the workbook say about Leonardo da Vinci in relation to the Renaissance age?\",\"answer\":\"It describes him as embodying the characteristics of the Renaissance age, combining ardor and versatility with deep thinking and practical power.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the text explain Leonardo’s scientific approach?\",\"answer\":\"It highlights the principle that experiment and observation should guide theory in investigating nature.\"},{\"question\":\"Why are many of Leonardo’s achievements described as largely forgotten?\",\"answer\":\"The workbook asks this as a comprehension question and frames it around the idea that his fame later rested more on his works as a painter than as a scientist.\"}]","Leonardo da Vinci Biography Workbook Series - Student Handouts | PDF",1792381700,28]
