From Slashdot:
The British Library has made available 14 great books on its website. One of them is a 1508 notebook by Leonardo Da Vinci containing short treatises, notes and drawings of a wide range of subjects from mechanics to the moon. The site allows you to view the original manuscript written in Leonardo’s own handwriting.
Slashdot commentary:
Will I have to flip my display to read Leonardo Da Vinci’s backwards handwriting?
…they actually have a “mirror” button to flip it over for you!
Among other works included on the site is Jane Austen’s early work, and the original Alice In Wonderland manuscript, written and illustrated by Lewis Carrol.
