How did Leonardo da Vinci take notes?

Da Vinci's journals were written in a mirror-image cursive script with his left hand. Most believe they were written that way to keep his notes secretive. To put it simply, this person is trying to say that Leonardo wrote backwards. That is how he took notes. He was left handed and he wrote things down backwards. To be able to read it, you'd need a mirror. He probably tooknotes by writing anything that seemed important. He kept journals with him all the time. If he saw anyone with an interesting face, he would follow them around and observe them, often drawing sketches.
