[Footnote: See Pl. CIX. The original sketch is here reduced to about  
half its size. The gates of the town are here named, beginning at  
the right hand and following the curved line. In the bird's eye view  
of Milan below, the cathedral is plainly recognisable in the middle;  
to the right is the tower of San Gottardo. The square, above the  
number 9147, is the Lazzaretto, which was begun in 1488. On the left  
the group of buildings of the 'Castello' will be noticed. On the  
sketched Plan of Florence (see No. 1004 note) Leonardo has written  
on the margin the following names of gates of Milan: Vercellina  
--Ticinese--Ludovica--Romana--Orientale--  
Nova--Beatrice--Cumana--Compare too No. 1448, 11. 5, 12.]
