Use a mirror. Leonardo da vinci wrote in mirror writing.

Of course, you would also need to know Latin. And his writing might still be difficult to read even for someone with a mirror.

Why do you think Leonardo wrote in reverse?

People who were contemporaries of Leonardo left records that they saw him write and paint left handed. He also made sketches showing his own left hand at work. Being a lefty was highly unusual in Leonardo's time. Because people were superstitious, children who naturally started using their left hands to write and draw were forced to use their right hands. No one knows the true reason Leonardo used mirror writing, though several possibilities have been suggested: * He was trying to make it harder for people to read his notes and steal his ideas. * He was hiding his scientific ideas from the powerful Roman Catholic Church, whose teachings sometimes disagreed with what Leonardo observed. * Writing left handed from left to right was messy because the ink just put down would smear as his hand moved across it. Leonardo chose to write in reverse because it prevented smudging. Why do you think Leonardo wrote in reverse?
