Head of Our Lady ascending into Heaven,
A head of an old man with long chin,
A head of a gypsy girl,
A head with a hat on,
A representation of the Passion, a cast,
A head of a girl with her hair gathered in a knot,
A head, with the brown hair dressed.
[Footnote: 680. This has already been published by AMORETTI Memorie
storiche cap. XVI. His reading varies somewhat from that here
given, e. g. l. 5 and 6. Certi Sangirolami in su d'una figura;
and instead of I. 13. Un San Bastiano.]

Footnote: 680. 9. Molti disegni di gruppi. VASARI in his life of
Leonardo (IV, 21, ed. MILANESI 1880) says: "Oltreché perse tempo
fino a disegnare gruppi di corde fatti con ordine, e che da un
capo seguissi tutto il resto fino all' altro, tanto che s'empiessi
un tondo; che se ne vede in istampa uno difficilissimo e molto
bello, e nel mezzo vi sono queste parole: Leonardus Vinci
Accademia". Gruppi must here be understood as a technical
expression for those twisted ornaments which are well known through
wood cuts. AMORETTI mentions six different ones in the Ambrosian
Library. I am indebted to M. DELABORDE for kindly informing me that
the original blocks of these are preserved in his department in the
Bibliothèque Nationale in Paris. On the cover of these volumes is a
copy from one of them. The size of the original is 23 1/2
