About the book >.>.> The earliest reference to the manuscripts of Leonardo da Vinci occurs in the diary of the secretary of a Cardinal of Aragon who visited Leonardo in his house near Amboise. He speaks of having seen an infinite number of volumes ?which if they should be published will be profitable and very enjoyable?. These were dispersed soon after Leonardo?s death and the majority after various vicissitudes have passed into the national libraries of Milan Paris and London and the royal libraries at Turin and Windsor.
