He wrote from right to left, as if looking at his writing in a mirror. While the reason for this is still debated, some theories suggest:
* Left-handedness: Da Vinci was left-handed, and writing in mirror script allowed him to avoid smudging the ink with his hand.
* Privacy: It kept his notes private, as only someone familiar with mirror writing could read them.
* Artistic Style: Da Vinci was a visual artist and may have enjoyed the artistic challenge of writing in this way.
Regardless of the reason, it's an intriguing aspect of his legacy.
