Paris Manuscript B

Quotes:
"Paris Manuscript B is the earliest of Leonardo’s bound manuscripts, with the Codex Trivulzianus.

It contains drawings and notes relating to a range of subjects, the most famous of which concern mechanical inventions for flight, such as the so-called helicopter, a submarine, and architectural studies with designs for churches based on centralised plans.

There are also designs for engines of war."

-Universal Leonardo
