About the book
The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci gathers writings by the Italian painter, sculptor, engineer and scientist, who died in France in 1519, from the manuscript pages he left behind. He wrote in Italian, often in mirror writing from right to left, and the books he planned from these notes were never finished. The German scholar Jean Paul Richter selected, translated and arranged the passages for an edition first published in London in 1883 as The Literary Works of Leonardo da Vinci. Richter’s introductions and footnotes are not included here.
