It's been my understanding that Di Vinci just carried around loose paper and wrote his stuff on it and that the booklets were constructed later from those loose notes. I've always loved Di Vinci, wish I could see one of the original notebooks close up.

Adam, I highly recommend the biography of Leonardo Da Vinci by Walter Isaacson. It’s absolutely incredible and a great insight in to one of my favourite ever humans. I seem to remember a passage where he mentions that Leonardo was known for carrying around a notebook that attached to his belt. So yes he would compile his notes in to notebooks like the one in this video, but I also think he would jot down notes like in a reporters pad, if only to copy them later, as you mentioned, in to final books like this one. It’s been a while since I read it but that’s what I seem to remember. So yes, a lot of copying and re copying but he also had notebooks he took everywhere with him. A mix of both worlds, really. Definitely check it out! Leonardo is the reason I take a notebook everywhere with me and jot down thoughts and ideas. He inspires me on so many levels it makes me quite emotional at times 😂 I don’t feel this message was written very well but I just get very excited by anything Da Vinci and tend to word vomit everywhere when talking about him.

The codex has never been bettered as a design form in more 1500 years. Spine, protective covers, instantly accessible pages: genius! Umberto Eco's essay _Faith in Fakes_ talks about how an accurate copy of something, or even a sincere pastiche, can evoke the same emotions and intellectual connections as an original artefact. He covers everything from mid-American roadside attractions to relics and Ikons. Good read.

One of my first "100%" grades I ever got was in the third grade, I made a replica of a Davinci diary for my research report about Davinci. Stained all the pages with tea, handwrote the entire thing in my third grade handwriting and replicated some of his famous sketches for authenticity. Teacher was blown away by my creativity and made me present it to the class. i honestly think I just replicated a trick I saw on Art Attack or something. But it definitely sparked my interest in making.

I've got a few genuine antique books myself, some from the 1820s and one from 1720 - all picked up in local charity shops (thrift shops) for just a few pounds. They're such evocative objects to hold & look through. These replicas look like something special, and it's wonderful to see Adam's enthusiastic reaction.

The history museum had just printed this tome of works by the artists that joined the early explorers. Just imagine: all these amazing drawings of rhino's, lions and other animals that are entirely based on their quick impressions when observing one combined with their imagination running wild (similar to what artist Walton Ford does these days). These finds are so amazing and inspiring.

I went to a tour of one of Da Vinci's Codex Leicester several years ago and it was amazing to view. A few pages were encased in glass and viewable on both sides so we could view them and a few more books were open and under glass. They were about Da Vinci working on a dam project for a client. It was a very surreal experience to realize I was looking at pieces of paper that were hundreds of years old.

I learned about his backwards writing with his left hand when I was in middle school and worked for months training my left hand to write coherently the backwards part happened all on its own. It’s strange and fascinating how the brain works like that. I was so into this that I turned in homework written in mirror-writing which some teachers were not impressed with.

@@rmvdhaak He's writing cursive. Writing the normal way around, you start each letter on its left side and finish it on the right, ready to link onto the next one. If you tried to do that when writing right-to-left, the letters wouldn't link up, and you'd always be moving the pen over the letter you just wrote, to get to the start point of the next letter. So you have two choices: either you draw the letters un-mirrored but reverse the stroke order, or you draw the letters mirrored, with the usual stroke order. Mirroring seems more natural, to me -- particularly capital letters always link from their right side, but in un-mirrored right-to-left writing, they're always at the end of the word.

Adam: I too am a longtime admirer of Leonardo and had the great experience of seeing a display of some actual pages of one of his notebooks at a museum in Milan in '15. I had just turned 70 at the time and the thing that impacted me most was how tiny the writing and sketches were. Admittedly they were in a glass case and displayed in dim light and I won't vouch for my visual acuity, but still, it surprised me.

I've thought before about one day getting an old paper scent to apply to my aged paper props. Tea and coffee is one of the easiest and most effective methods of aging paper, but I find having the smell of tea and coffee can just take the viewer one step out of the experience. It's only little, but it's the little details that sells the feeling and experience of believing it to be an original, and the more you lose the harder it is to just believe. I've made my own aged cyanotype photos before, and despite knowing I've literally just made this thing I'm holding within the last 15 minutes, practically every other sense was telling me it was over a hundred years old. And forcing myself to believe it was made by me, was one of the most satisfying feelings I've ever felt.

What a beautiful manuscript. Congratulations on having it. To me books , especially , bring to life your motto of being custodians of objects. They also test my boundaries between collector and hoarder. I would love to see a video one day of your library, if you have one. I imagine a multitude of storage devices holding comics, technical books, coffee table books and reproductions, all of which are a reflection of the custodian. And just as when we die our memories and thoughts blink into nothing, our collections will eventually disperse too, but , perhaps, linger a moment longer to give form to our lives . I love that you picked up on the smell of an old book. To me it is finer than wine. When i show a person some of my older volumes i make sure they smell them. I bought once a reproduction 3 volume set of the 1st edition of the Encyclopedia Britannica...but the smell was all wrong. I came across some vaping oil from the early days of vaping that had a wonderful aroma and used drops of that to hide the new smell. I shall fetch that cologne for myself as much as the tomes. Do you have any good reproductions of the Voynich manuscript? I thought that would be your cup of diet ginger beer. Thanks again for making great videos, especially during these last couple of years.

Adam, thank you so much. I am a curator of drawings - seeing this gave me real joy. I will thank you by referring you to a book that you will love, if you don't already have it. It describes techniques you will be able to use for making or enhancing your beloved paper props. The Restoration of Engravings, Drawings, Books and Other Works on Paper by Max Schweidler, translated, edited, and with an appendix by Roy Perkinson. Roy Perkinson was (before he retired to devote himself to grandchildren, art, and travel) a great paper conservator who ran the lab at the Museum of Fine Ars, Boston. Schweidler was the greatest of an earlier era, who did not always confine himself to what we would currently call ethical conservation. Schweidler tells, essentially, how to fake old master prints so they are almost impossible to tell from the real thing. To this good day, museum curators and conservators of old master prints have to watch like hawks to make sure they are not fooled by prints that have been "Schweiderlized." This book is mostly to help the curators and conservators tell Schweiderlized prints from real old masters. But of course, it could go the other way . . . Use your new powers for good, Adam, not evil!

hearing & seeing Adam swoon was part of the fun watching this video. That "experience" and to be able to handle something that is as accurate or as exact as a historical print as possible is the work that I have been doing for a few years with the work of Paul Revere (and I also have a huge interest in the Old Masters and using their techniques), work I do with the Printing Office of Edes & Gill in Boston MA where we have an exact-size replica of the Declaration as printed in Boston on the same kind of paper with the same kind of hand-set type, and my exact-size replica of Revere's Boston Massacre copperplate engraving, again using the same methods he did, same kind of paper, even some hand-colored in watercolors. (although I do not go as far as to age the work down to every tear and stain, instead I try to make it look as if you bought a print as exactly as it came in 1770 as I can, but I digress). Friends that do similar work like Colonial Wiliamsburg does with their Print shop, and Jorge Lar / Prelo Prints, replicating 16th century prints & woodcuts. (I have a replica of Aesop's Fables as printed by William Caxton ca 1470s that Jorge did, excellent work).

Possibly the most magnificent piece of art I have seen on tested since the inception of tested / the adam Savage project. THANK YOU for the links to the webpage for learning more about the original note nooks. ON Second thought take out the word possibly from the first sentence.

The beginning of this video had a serious Pulp Fiction vibe of "what's in the case? and are we happy?" Super cool! 😊

I recently started building a fully functional screen accurate Wall-E. First step was to join the builder’s group where I met the maker who built the first Wall-E. He was so meticulous in recreating every minute aspect of the paint job from the original movie prop that Pixar licensed his Wall-E and it is now used around the country as THE actual WAll-E …. It’s always amazing to see this kind of replication

yeah, from what i've read, its kinda both. so he always carried a notebook to sketch and such, but in the last years of his life (and i think earlier as well, but in those last years thats like all he did) he collected everything, sorted them, probably redrew and rewrote a lot of them to be more orderly and readable, with the intent of putting it all into several books on specific topics.

As a model maker, I can relate so much how Adam puts his problem-solving skills, creativity, artistry, and passion into his craft-making. This hobby is such a labor of love. It is one of those rare things that ignites our life.

There's a funny authenticity added to the experience of watching this due to the wear and stains on your hands and workbench. Like Leonardo was thumbing through his notes in his own studio (contemporary band-aid notwithstanding). Thanks for sharing this with us, Adam! So cool.

Watching you open that reminded me of helping to hang shows in a photographic museum in college and believe me had my fingers looked like yours (sometimes they did) the curator would have had an absolute heart attack and shown me to the door or maybe the box of cotton gloves, if I was lucky LOL. I had not thought of him in years so thanks for bringing back some memories and a good laugh 😋
