This double-page manuscript (1490s) showcases Leonardo’s investigation into geometry and volume. Through careful drawings and mirrored notes, he explores sectional views of complex solids and the behavior of curved surfaces. The work illustrates his relentless inquiry into mathematical principles as the foundation of both natural and artistic form.
