To-do list by Leonardo da Vinci
Leonardo da Vinci is known for having managed to make many important discoveries in his life, to create many important inventions and to make his unforgettable contribution to the development of mankind. How did he do it? Perhaps he was a genius and all discoveries-inventions were given to him without difficulty. Maybe he slept a little, no more than 4 hours a day, and the rest of the time he worked tirelessly. There may be a dozen other versions and their combination. But the historian Toby Lester translated into English (with his explanations in brackets) the To-Do leaf of the end of the 15th century (approximately 1490s) from a notebook by Leonardo da Vinci.
Picture (large) under the cut.
Leonardo planned not only to study, think, speculate and create something, but also to skate and draw Milan.
