There is a study of his scientific writing which for 500 years has been a paradigm. The article exemplifies that to write well with a scientific approach the world around us must be observed and that language itself must be studied thoroughly. It briefly deals with the diverse writing styles that Leonardo explored. There is a discussion about the so-called “literary fables” actually being fables in the classical sense of the term and rather being scientific notes.esCorporación Universitaria LasallistaLeonardo da VinciEscrituraLiteratura cientifícaRenacimientoFábulasArticle
