Advances in Science
& Math
Leonardo is said to have painted in the church of
Orsanmichele. But his skills and interests took
him all over Florence. No matter where Leonardo
was, he constantly searched for knowledge. He
kept detailed notes and complex drawings on
hundreds of subjects. Many of these drawings
anticipated inventions long before their time.
Most of the 4,200 pages of notes he kept were
written in reverse script, or backward, so that they
could only be read easily if held up to a mirror.
Some historians think Leonardo did this to
prevent people from stealing his ideas.

observations, performed experiments,
