1 and filled them in one color with a small brush -Pl. 7- in order to explain the entire remaining group of 56 familiar or new problems as played according to the old rules, is most probably that of Pacioli or one of his amenuenses. Thus the identification of this old manuscript has led to a highly valuable rediscovery of an unpublished work by Leonardo not only and not as much for its contribution, however ingenious, to the development of the game of chess, as for the depiction of pieces that, it must be specified, are all conceived to be made with a lathe and thus to be produced as a set for common use.

3 PLATES 19

4 Plate 1 Folio 8v. The problem depicted is to be played with actual modern rules, in fact, and is distinguished at the top center of the page by the term "rabio". On the freely drawn chessboard, the forms of the pieces were first drawn, then filled with color with a tiny brush. On the facing page, the chessboard was drawn with a ruler, and the forms of the pieces were painted in color without contours. 20

5 Folio 9r. The two problems depicted above are to be played according to medieval rules. On these two pages, together with the two different modes of playing discussed by Pacioli that is, "rabio" played with modern rules still in use today but revolutionary back then, and the other mode based on medieval rules two utterly different manners of representing pieces are tackled. See pg 16 21

11 Plate 5 GIOVANNI DA VERONA (C ) INTARSIA, S. MARIA IN ORGANO (VR) Comparison between sample figures of the King, Rook, Bishop, and Knight figures drawn from the pages of the manuscript and the actual forms of certain friezes painted on antae in the Fourth Pompeian style. Beneath, on the left. the same forms inspire the intarsia by Giovanni da Verona at S. Maria in Organo, on which appear two copies of the polyhedrons in Leonardo's drawings for De Divina Proporzione. 27

12 Plate 6 Examples of pieces rendered with contours but not filled in with paint because they are irrelevant to an understanding of the "match." Folio 25. (Match no. 60) The precise and neat drawing of these uncolored figures is undoubtedly by the same hand as the "drawn and painted" figures illustrated here below. The lack of color reveals the greater speed of this rendering, which shows neither hesitation nor the foresaid inclination to the right. Examples of pieces rendered in contour but not filled in with paint because they were repositioned in an adjacent square. On the left in Folio 1r, on the right in Folio 44v. 28

13 Examples of deletions (crossed out) in Leonardo's folios. The strokes used to delete a drawing or text, or even a single letter of a text, always slope from bottom right to top left. Codex Atlanticus, fol. 400 v.d. Folio 14r Ms. B. 2173, Paris Bibliothèque de France Codex Atlanticus, fol. 96v.a. 29

15 Plate 7 Examples of renderings of pieces "only painted, without contours." The figures are vertical or for the most part inclined to the left. Many ambiguities and smudges, but only one figure is crossed out for the repositioning of the King on fol. 31v. The hatching, which slopes from bottom left to top right, is executed with the right hand. See below. Folio 25v. Folio 31v. The only example in the manuscript of a figure "only painted, without contours" that is crossed out for the repositioning of a figure. Folio 23r Alfino Bishop 31
