Multiple ratios (multiplici)
Segment diagrams of multiple proportions: g 16, K 24, L 8, h 12, m 4, n 6
This recto, headed 'multiplici' (multiple ratios), sets out two blocks of labelled segments in Leonardo's Euclidean proportion study in Manuscript K. The upper block pairs g 16 with K 24, L 8 with h 12, and m 4 with n 6; the lower block gives a 8 with f 12, b 4 with c 6, and e 2 with d 3. The magnitudes are drawn as faint pencil-and-pen segments joined by curved brackets, with the numeral 231 at the head.

Multiple ratios (multiplici)
Headed 'multiplici,' multiple ratios, the upper block pairs g 16 with K 24, L 8 with h 12, and m 4 with n 6. The lower block gives a 8, f 12; b 4, c 6; e 2, d 3, extending the same set of multiple proportions.
