Latin word-list with Italian meanings (fol. 52r)
A double column of Latin terms glossed in Italian, with a jotted name in the corner
The page is a study vocabulary in which Leonardo pairs Latin words with Italian meanings, running down the sheet in mirror script. The entries are chiefly conjunctions, pronouns and particles such as utraque (l'uno e l'altra), quamquam (benche), tamen (nientedimeno) and amentis (glossed 'without mind, that is, mad'). In the upper-left corner, written the normal way round, is a separate memorandum naming Simon da Calima, a dyer.

Latin vocabulary glossed in Italian
A running list gives a Latin word and, after a dotted leader, its Italian sense. The selection favours connective and pronominal words: utrumquid (qual de' due), quoniam (impero che), interiecta (gittata in mezzo), regresso (to go back and return). Several entries carry small explanatory notes, e.g. corripit is glossed as a word 'uttered rapidly'.
Memorandum: Simon da Calima, dyer
Set apart in the upper-left corner and written the ordinary way round, this short note records the name Simon da Calima together with his trade, tintore (dyer). It is a personal jotting unrelated to the Latin study filling the rest of the page.
