- pmiri 8y agoDa Vinci actually wrote all his personal works backwards, for reasons unknown!
- n4r9 8y agoThere's evidence that he was left-handed, or at least did a lot of his work with the left hand. He may have found it more convenient to write in that direction so as not to smudge the ink, especially if he wrote quickly.
- john2x 8y agoIt is not flipped. Leonardo wrote in mirrored text.
- purvis 8y agoI believe he wrote in mirror script, as the article mentions.

- Tehnix 8y agoI took it as he literally wrote like that, from this line, > You can see a page of Da Vinci’s notebook above but be warned. Even if you are conversant in 16th century Italian, Da Vinci wrote everything in mirror script.
