See detailed description and analysis 
| Analysis F3 is a 16th century copy of FM2, one of the earliest abridged copies of Leonardo's Treatise on painting that was kept in the Gaddi library in Florence. The textual and visual comparison shows that FM2 was the source of F3 as the two manuscripts present very similar text and illustrations. The only significant difference between F3 and FM2 pertains to the numbering of chapters, but their content is identical: the copist of F3 divided longer chapters of FM2 into shorter chapters (see T1038) and as a consequence, FM2 has 377 chapters while F3 has 397. |
| History The early history of F3 is unknown. |
