Leonardo da Vinci usually wrote his notes in mirror writing—from right to left, with reversed letters. His writing can be read by looking at it in a mirror. A study of a sheet bearing one of his early landscapes showed that Leonardo wrote with both his left and right hands. But the sheet does not prove that he could write two different texts at the same time.
