Léonard - écrivain
 
Léonard a été un
peintre, un inventeur,
un scientifique, un
artiste et un génie dans
tous les demains de la
connaissance. Mais
son personnage le plus
misterieux est le
Léonard – écrivain..
Il a beaucoup écrit dans toutes les formes et tous les styles:
 
les Codes, bien sûr,
mais aussi des pensées, des
des méditations,
e
t même des
proverbes..
En observant ses écrits, on peut remarquer une écriture linéaire,
bien definie et caractérisée par un trait d'encre uniforme, comme
s’il avait utilisé un stylo moderne…
En effet, dans le Code Atlantic on a trouvé le dessin d’un stylo
tout original qui permettait à l’artiste d’écrire pages sur pages
sans jamais terminer l’encre.. Ce stylo est consideré le precurseur
du stylo plume d’aujourd’hui…

«La main du diable»
En effet, il était gaucher, mais dans le temps il a appris
la capacité d’écrire aussi avec la main droite. Mais il
préférait toujours écrire par la gauche, en partant du
côté droit, selon le principe de 
l’écriture spéculaire
.
Pour ça on l’appellait « la main du diable ».
Toutefois, la particularité la plus importante de
s
es écrits est un type d’écriture très particulaire,
dérivée de l'habitude de Léonard d’écrire de
droit à gauche.
What is mirror writing?
 
Specular writing is handwriting that is written from right to left ( left-
handed writing), and therefore can be only deciphered by means of a
mirror.
 
It is well-known that the direction of the writing in the western world
is right-handed, that is, it starts from left and heads towards right.
                      
leonardo, writer and architect of the duchy
                      
 
To  get an idea of ​​how words are transformed if written specularly,
try yourself to write the words “Leonardo, writer and architect of
the duchy” and then put the paper in front of a mirror: the letters
will appear not only inverted as if you had written from right to
left but also upside down.
Voilà!

The purpose of this practice by Leonardo remains unknown, though
several possible reasons have been suggested.
Let's see some theories together:
WHY DID LEONARDO WRITE THIS WAY?
1. For some scholars Leonardo wrote in this way due to an
accident that had compromised a large part of the
functionality of his right hand and therefore had become
accustomed, with great difficulty, to writing with his left.
2. Leonardo wrote as a left-handed since childhood and it
would seem that his grandfather Antonio tried to correct
this "diversity" in all ways, without succeeding.
3. Some neurologists have hypothesized that Leonardo was dyslexic,
that is, suffering from a disorder that leads to consider words as figures:
those who suffer from it find it easy to mirror and transcribe words in
Arabic or Hebrew (ie written from right to left).  
4. Lovers of mystery believe that his way of writing was dictated
exclusively by the desire to make his reading incomprehensible,
especially his inventions and drawings, and to protect them from
copying, he decided to adopt this style of writing, very similar to
a "cryptographic" code.
CAN YOU READ BACKWARDS?
It is not so hard.
                          Try to do that, now!
                 «ART IS NEVER FINISHED, ONLY ABANDONED»
