Compounded proportion (congiunta)
Paired labelled segments illustrating compounded ratios (a 9, b 6; c 3, f 2)
Headed 'congiunta' (compounded), this page of Manuscript K continues Leonardo's proportion studies with paired labelled segments: a 9, b 6, g; d 6, e 4, h; c 3, f 2, repeated below as b 6, g; e 4, h; c 3, f 2. Beneath the proportion figures the sheet also bears rows of short tally-like strokes and a line of mirror-script prose at the foot that the supplied transcription does not include. The numeral 241 heads the page; the drawing is faint pencil gone over in pen.
