Time Hop (12/12)

December 12, 1980

34 years ago today Leonardo Da Vinci’s notebook written in the early 1500’s sold at auction for an impressive 5.12 million dollars. The notebook included over 300 notes and drawings. At the time this had been the most paid for a manuscript but was eventually resold for an impressive 30.8 million dollars to Bill Gates who now loans it to museums for public display.
