Treatise Page with Short Section Headings
Mirror-script prose divided by several short centred headings; no major diagrams
The leaf is a text page of Leonardo's mirror-script, present but not transcribed in this bundle, broken into sections by several short centred headings in the manner of a treatise. No significant diagrams appear, only continuous prose. Old ink foliation sits in the upper corner and annotations in a later hand run along the foot of the leaf.

Sectioned prose of the painting treatise
Blocks of mirror-script are separated by several short centred lines that act as section headings, the layout of Leonardo's treatise on painting and light and shade. No transcription is provided in this bundle, so the wording of the headings and text is not given.
Untranscribed later-hand annotations
Writing in a later, non-mirror hand appears along the foot of the leaf, separate from Leonardo's own notes. It is not transcribed here.
