How to use - Backward writing

  • Example of specular writing on the manuscript 'Vitruvian Man' by Leonardo da Vinci



  • The text right side up (in Italian) :

    Vetruvio, architetto, mette nella sua opera d'architectura, chelle misure dell'omo sono dalla natura disstribuite in quessto modo cioè che 4 diti fa 1 palmo, et 4 palmi fa 1 pie, 6 palmi fa un chubito, 4 cubiti fa 1 homo, he 4 chubiti fa 1 passo, he 24 palmi fa 1 homo ecqueste misure son ne' sua edifiti...' 

     

    The text translated into English :

    Vetruvio, architect, puts in his work on architecture that the measurements of man are in nature distributed in this manner: that is a palm is four fingers, a foot is four palms, a cubit is six palms, four cubits make a man, a pace is four cubits, a man is 24 palms and these measurements are in his buildings...'.


  • Some security vehicles have specular (inverted) markings on the bonnet so that other vehicles can read the markings right way in there rear-view mirror.
