Leonardo da Vinci
Person
Born
Leonardo da Vinci left thousands of notebook pages, written in mirror script and mixing anatomy, water flow, flight and shopping lists. The Codex Arundel at the British Library and the Royal Collection's anatomical drawings are digitised. They show him returning to the same problem for years, sketching variants, noting what he still needed to test and leaving many questions unanswered.
