FLUXLIST: Leonardo's backwards writing

[Ken Friedman]

Leonardo was ambidextrous.

He wrote and drew equally well with either hand.

His writing was mirror writing. This is
not necessarily a symptom of dyslexia. All letters and
words were correct and in proper order.

Leonardo's notebooks and research papers were
written backwards to encode and protect the
infirmation.

His correspondence and public material was
written forwards, easily readable by anyone.
