Latin adverbs: oaths, chance, choice, exhortation, moderation
Word-lists grouped under Latin functional headings, in mirror script
This leaf continues Leonardo's Latin vocabulary study, setting out adverbs in paired columns under Latin category headings. The groups cover adverbs of swearing (aedepol, castor, hercle, medius fidius), of chance (forte, casu, fortuna), of choosing (potius, immo), of exhorting (eia, age, agite), of forbidding (ne), and of gradual or moderate action (sensim, paulatim, pedetentim, vix, fere, ferme). The words are written in Leonardo's mirror hand as part of his systematic grammar exercises. There is no drawing on the page.
