WORDS, WORDS, WORDS…
Vocabulary lists from one of Leonardo’s notebooks. There seems to be no real reason for these other than writing down what looks like totally random words. All of these are in Italian, so it was not a Latin word exercise, which also exist but not to this extent.
… and if you think the sight of these 9 is impressive, there’s actually over 40 pages of this.





![Dimmi se mai fu fatto cosa… Dimmi se mai…Dimmi…Dimmi dimmi se m[ai]…
Tell me if ever it was done what…Tell me if ever…Tell me…Tell me tell me if [ever]…
