Vinegar ... and a little salt two pieces of canvas for Salai.  
[
Footnote: This note, of about the year 1494, is the earliest  
mention of Salai, and the last is of the year 1513 (see No. 1465,  
). From the various notes in the MSS. he seems to have been

Leonardo's assistant and keeper only, and scarcely himself a  
painter. At any rate no signed or otherwise authenticated picture by  
him is known to exist. Vasari speaks somewhat doubtfully on this  
point.]

On Tuesday I bought wine for morning [drinking]; on Friday the 4th  
day of September the same.  
[Footnote: This note enables us to fix the date of the Manuscript,  
in which it is to be found. In 1495 the 4th of September fell on a  
Friday; the contents of the Manuscript do not permit us to assign it  
to a much earlier or later date (Compare No. 1522, and Note).]
