Leonardo da Vinci (1452-1519) was a Renaissance genius, recognized for his contributions to painting, anatomy, engineering, and writing. His studies and manuscripts reflect his relentless curiosity about the natural world and his eagerness to document his discoveries. In the literary field, his writings range from scientific treatises to philosophical and artistic reflections. Notable works include The Treatise on Painting, published posthumously in 1651, which compiles his studies on perspective, light, and anatomy applied to art.

His written legacy mainly consists of notebooks and codices, such as the Codex Atlanticus and the Codex Leicester (1510), where he developed revolutionary ideas across multiple disciplines. Although his literary work was not conceived for narrative purposes, his writings have been studied as fundamental sources for art, science, and engineering.
