Leonardo da Vinci was left-handed and his personal notes were written starting at the right side of the page to the left. This special technique called “mirror writing” made all the people who wanted to read his notebooks to use a mirror. However, when he was writing something for the others he wrote in the normal direction. It is also said that Leonardo da Vinci possessed an amazing dexterity being able to write with one hand and paint with the other, in the same time. And even when suffering from a paralysis of the right hand, Leonardo was able to draw and teach.
