Sheets of Arithmetic over Male Profiles (not by Leonardo)
Dense columns of figures, products and fractions on a page bearing male profiles not in his hand
One mounted fragment is effectively blank; the other is covered with dense columns of figures - long products, squarings and fractions such as 3/6, 4/8 and 12/48. The transcription records that these numbers and operations are set over male profiles that are not in Leonardo's hand, and undulating outlines run through the calculations. The whole side reads as a working sheet of calculations laid over earlier, alien drawings.

Columns of products and fractions
The sheet is filled with arithmetic: long multiplications, squarings and fractions such as 3/6, 4/8, 12/48 and 11/4. The figures are grouped in loose columns across the page.
Male profiles not by Leonardo
The transcription notes that the numbers are written over male profiles that are not in Leonardo's hand. These faint figure outlines underlie the calculations.
