Officials in the western French town of Nantes, have unveiled a manuscript by Leonardo da Vinci. It had lain undiscovered, in a pile of documents for more than 130 years.
The piece is little more than a fragment of paper with brown scrawls. The head, of Nantes Library, says the item was written back to front in 15th century Italian, and could be best read in a mirror.
It was among some 5-thousand documents left to the city in 1872, by a rich collector. This, is the second, rare item, found in the collector's papers.
In 2008, researchers chanced, on an original score by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart.
