Codex Ashburnham
It consists in two cardboard-bound paper manuscripts
(measuring 24 x 19 cm). Originally part of Codex A, from which they
were torn in the nineteenth century. Conventionally identified as
number 2037 (former Codex B) and number 2038 (former Codex A). These
collections mainly contain pictorial studies (Ash. 2038) and assorted
drawings (Ash. 2037), which Leonardo in all likelihood drew between
1489 and 1492.
