Leonardo da Vinci, Ms. M, verso of cover - 1r		  
  [III.1B  The Paradise of Mathematical Sciences]    
 
     

For Leonardo, the study of nature meant mastering those sciences deemed to have received a practically definitive systematic organization in the preceding centuries: first of all geometry and the physical-mathematical sciences, such as optics, the science of motions and of weights. Accordingly, Leonardo attempted to assimilate the mathematical tradition of antiquity and the medieval one of mechanics.
