Memo book of Leonardo Da Vinci

A page of the unprecedented manual of Leonardo Da Vinci has revealed that even the genius must write down the list of 'Things to do' so that he won't forget the job.

In the list written around this 1510, Leonardo lists very ordinary things like walking dogs, picking up items from dry cleaners or buying paint and brushes. However, it is not difficult to find in which items are very different from people like 'asking for a skull' to complete a book about anatomy or 'describe a crocodile's jaw'.

Not only is a master of Renaissance, Leonardo is also considered a pioneer scientist with many great inventions. But even such a status cannot stop the artist from reminding himself of things like buying chalk, coal and paper.

This handbook page will be on display at an exhibition at The Queen's Gallery, Buckingham Palace (England), along with more than 80 other writing pages of Leonardo.

'Just like anyone preparing for a new journey, Leonardo also wrote a list of things to bring , ' said exhibit expert Martin Clayton. ' In addition to everyday items such as shirts, socks and towels, he also listed surgical instruments such as forceps, scalpels and bone saws.'

'Not long after that, we learned that he was going to do autopsies on the corpses at the medical school of Pavia University, southern Milan. Most likely this packing list is to prepare for the trip to Pavia , 'Clayton speculated.

Experts say that most pages in the handbook are primarily used to record anatomical observations of the artist's level, only this page gives us a view of his personal life . The book belongs to the British Royal Collection since 1690.
