	Leonardo: il diario della sua vita
		Leonardo fu senza ombra di dubbio uno scrittore prolifico, addirittura un grafomane.
		Sappiamo da un'annotazione del primo aprile del 1499 che l'artista a quei tempi si trovava "alla testa di duecentodiciotto libri", tra fogli, quaderni e appunti, riempiti dalle riflessioni più disparate.
		Leonardo fu infatti estremamente geloso dei suoi quaderni; né agli amici né ai suoi discepoli permetteva di consultarli, forse per timore che le sue idee venissero saccheggiate o forse semplicemente per pudore.

	Leonardo Polo
		Sin embargo, plantear el carácter existencial del derecho exigía resolver algunas cuestiones previas, en gran medida vinculadas a la intuición de 1950 y que se convirtieron en un largo prolegómeno, que llegó a adquirir entidad propia y a conducir la investigación hacia el campo de la filosofía, alejándose de los enfoques jurídicos.
		Leonardo Polo se ha resistido siempre, aunque se lo han pedido en varias ocasiones, a escribir una historia de la filosofía; quizá la razón esté aquí, en su enfoque, en su concepción de lo que es la historia de la filosofía: su cultivo, su ejercicio.
		Para elaborar una teoría del conocimiento, Leonardo Polo entiende que hay que volver a Aristóteles, ver cómo se conoce objetivamente, pues eso es lo que hay que abandonar.

		Grandi artisti del passato hanno dedicato molte fatiche a opere nelle quali è accuratamente riprodotto ogni minimo particolare; ora se un artista disegna a modo suo lo si considererà un abborracciatore che non sa fare di meglio.
		Quando ci sembra che che un quadro pecchi nell'esattezza del minimalismo dobbiamo sempre domandarci in primo luogo se l'artista non abbia avuto le sue ragioni per modificare l'aspetto di ciò che ha visto; ed in secondo luogo non dobbiamo mai condannare un'opera per il fatto di essere scorrettamente disegnata.

		Grazie a questa tecnica, i soggetti ritratti nei dipinti di Leonardo sembrano respirare, e mutano rivelando nuovi particolari a ogni ulteriore sguardo.
		Tali eccezionali risultati sono sicuramente il frutto di una mente brillante e singolarmente intuitiva, ma che si è sempre accompagnata a un’applicazione costante e minuziosa allo studio del vero, non limitata, a differenza di quanto facevano i suoi contemporanei, a esercizi teorici, ma mutuata direttamente dalla sperimentazione.
		Difficilmente affidabile come fornitore, Leonardo seguiva il filo dei suoi propri interessi piuttosto che quello delle consegne che gli erano richieste; un dato di fatto che emerge lampante dai vari “codici”, che variano il soggetto di studio a seconda dell’interesse del periodo.
