Abstract
Three aspects are covered: * The origins of the Treatise, how it evolved from Leonardo's Notes, leading up to the various printed editions with their variations. *The early English editions of the Treatise, with a comparison of their differences, and their development from the first edition. How were the early editions abridged and for what purpose? *The structure of Leonardo's thought, and what he actually said in the Treatise of Painting.
