The Codex Leicester, or Codex Hammer as it was once referred to, is the collective scientific writings of Leonardo da Vinci. Adjusted for inflation, the Codex is considered to be the most expensive rare book of all time, having been purchased by Bill Gates in 1994 for $30.8 million, which is estimated to be worth near $60 million today.
