Leonardo could have easily written this one. He was into coding, backward writing, use of symbols ~ and he was a great artist ~ plus, he lived in France ~ in between one of my ancestor's castles and the main royal chateaux on the Loire River.

Very good neighborhood at the time I assure you.

He had money to burn~

carbon dating puts it between 1404-1438 -

that would've put Leonardo at minus 18 years to plus 14.

I know just about everything under the sun that can't be pinned down is credited to him, even the creation of THe Shroud - which is known to have existed several hundred years before Leonardo was born -

He WAS a genius. But he had limits, one being that he had to be alive to do ANYthing. I 'assure you" ;o)

So he was about 14 at the outside date of the creation of this book - but he was pretty busy apprenticing at the time. Probably not enough time and privacy to spend the time required for these extensive observations.
