(20.4 x 15.0 cm) Rome, Vatican Library Leonardo made innumerable notes on the science and practice of painting, which for the most part are scattered throughout his manuscripts. Sometime in the mid-16th century, the artist's pupil and primary heir, Francesco Melzi, began the heroic task of assembling and transcribing a selection of these passages. Known as the Trattato della pittura (Treatise on Painting), the document is invaluable in that approximately three quarters of its contents no longer exist in their original form. Melzi's anthology itself was subsequently copied; the surviving versions vary in their accuracy. That known as the Codex Urbinas (for the dukes of Urbino, its onetime owners) is considered the most faithful to Leonardo's original texts.
