His persistent encouragement to publish this work has been the main stimulus for its emergence. For all I am extremely grateful. Dr. Domenico Laurenza and Dr. Matthew Landrus have supported and informed me along the way. Their friendship I treasure and their knowledge I respect. My thanks go to both for their enduring belief in the project. Professor Francis Ames-Lewis’s kindness and support is greatly appreciated. My medical training and surgical experience as a heart surgeon have enabled informed interpretation of the drawings.

Permission by the Royal Collection to reproduce all of the heart drawings, their related transcriptions and translations, and several other manuscript pages and drawings has been essential to the project. Karen Lawson, Picture Library Supervisor in the Royal Library, gave her time to gather the images, and for that I am also grateful. Special thanks must go to Prof. Carlo Pedretti and the family of Dr. Kenneth Keele for allowing the use of their transliterations and translations of Leonardo’s original notes; theirs was seminal work and remains the gold standard for the understanding of Leonardo’s writing.
