| Analysis This manuscript was copied in clear handwriting by a single scribe, who first copied the main text and later added chapter headings and numbers. He added chapter headings only for chapters 1-53. The source of FN3 was a manuscript with illustrations. The scribe left appropriate blank space to insert the images, but he never added them. FN3 includes additional notes that are not derived from Leonardo's Treatise on Painting (fols. 140v-141v). |
