Interesting diversion

Leonardo’s to-do list c. 1490

“[Talk to] Giannino, the Bombardier, re. the means by which the tower of Ferrara is walled without loopholes (no one really knows what Da Vinci meant by this)
Ask Benedetto Potinari (A Florentine Merchant) by what means they go on ice in Flanders
Draw Milan
Ask Maestro Antonio how mortars are positioned on bastions by day or night.
[Examine] the Crossbow of Mastro Giannetto”

Interesting. I noted how all the entries start with a verb, as good to-do lists should.

Thanks for posting this.

Hey Paul.

THIS WAS AWESOME!

Thanks for sharing.

I’m a huge DaVinci Fan.

The guy did have different priorities. That’s for sure.
