# Veni Vidi Da Vinci

> The complete notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, readable: 7,549 manuscript pages across 28 collections, each with high-resolution scans, the original e-Leo Italian transcription, and a Reader's Edition layer — an editorial title, subject tags, a plain-English summary, and a complete English translation. The scans and original transcriptions are free; the Reader's Edition layer is a Patron benefit with a free allowance.

Every page lives at /codex/{slug}/{index}. The same address works in the
Da-Vinci API: https://venivididavinci.com/api/v1/folios/{slug}/{index}.
