Quotation from: The Notebooks of Leonardo Da Vinci

Written by: Leonardo da Vinci


[9] Let the men of the country [or the village] partly inhabit the
new houses when the court is absent [12].


[Footnote: On the same page we find notes referring to Romolontino
and Villafranca with a sketch-map of the course of the "Sodro" and
the "(Lo)cra" (both are given in the text farther on). There can
hardly be a doubt that the last sentence of the passage given above,
refers to the court of Francis I. King of France.--L.9-13 are
written inside the larger sketch, which, in the original, is on the
right hand side of the page by the side of lines 1-8. The three
smaller sketches are below. J. P. R.]
