Mirror-script prose page with chapter headings (Ms A)
Closely written treatise text in brown ink; no diagrams on this leaf.
A full page of Leonardo's right-to-left mirror-script prose from the Ashburnham I leaves once cut from Manuscript A. The text is set out as several titled paragraphs, with short centred headings above blocks of prose and a couple of added lines in the upper margin, the layout characteristic of Manuscript A's treatise material; there are no drawings or diagrams. The wording is not supplied in this bundle, so the specific content is left untranscribed here. Further untranscribed text is present across the whole leaf.

Untranscribed titled paragraphs of treatise prose
The leaf bears several short centred headings, each followed by a paragraph of Leonardo's mirror script, the layout of Manuscript A's discursive precepts. None of this wording is included in the bundle, so it is described rather than read. No figures or diagrams accompany the text.
