Notebook entries by Leonardo da Vinci, made during his life in Milan in  1506-1510, respectively. The manuscript consists of 18 sheets of paper  covered on both sides and folded in such a way that together they formed  a 72-page book. Leonardo notes written in a special way, his own  "mirror" type - they can be read only by means of a mirror. Entries are  devoted to various events, mused about the nature of which Leonardo: why  the moon is shining, why and how the water flows in rivers, where are  the fossils of which are minerals and so on.
