Image description

Studies of reflections from concave mirrors. On the right-hand page Leonardo is arguing that in concave mirrors of equal diameter, the one which has a shallower curve will concentrate the highest number of reflected rays on to a focal point, and 'as a consequence, it will kindle a fire with greater rapidity and force'. Leonardo Da Vinci's rough Book of observations. Author: Vinci, Leonardo da / Illustrator: Vinci, Leonardo da Italy, early 16th century Language: Italian Source/Shelfmark: Arundel 263, f.87 Written backwards in the author's own hand, and illustrated by diagrams and delineations. Leonardo Da Vinci's rough Book of observations and demonstrations on subjects chiefly of mixed Mathematics, being unconnected notes written by him at different times, commencing 22 March,1508.
