Direct link to trek's post “It was formerly supposed ...” It was formerly supposed that daVinci wrote in mirror image to prevent others from being able to read his notes but a more recent theory is that since he was a lefty, it was easier for him to write "backwards" - remember that he was writing with a quill and lefties tend to drive the point of a pen into the paper instead of dragging it along the surface like righties. Also, by writing in reverse, he wouldn't have smeared the wet ink as his hand moved across the parchment. (10 votes) Waléeed kaz 9 years agoPosted 9 years ago.
