Read the full account
Leonardo did not publish his anatomical corpus in his lifetime. Later royal and museum housing makes it readable. He did not. Leonardo da Vinci's documented role is: He did not issue the anatomy as a book. Later editors did. Lifetime non-publication is the instrument.
Context
The sheets could have been a teaching atlas. Sharing later recovery with Windsor is required as a limit, not as his act. The setting of The anatomical corpus remains unpublished in Leonardo's lifetime is the public file around 1511-01-01. Contribution type is direct. Driver personal-data-protection is attached because the significance names a mechanism from this act, not because a standing list needed coverage.
The contribution type is direct. That reading is an impact-path choice, not a property stored on the Fact itself.
Why it matters
Worsening path from The anatomical corpus remains unpublished in Leonardo's lifetime on 1511-01-01. Keeping a medical research corpus private is an opacity path relative to Vesalius-style public atlases of the next generation. The welfare reading on this path is worsening.
Shared responsibility is part of The anatomical corpus remains unpublished in Leonardo's lifetime. Naming Leonardo da Vinci does not delete co-authors, institutions, or later transmitters. The lag from 1511-01-01 to any measured indicator is not treated as zero. Alternative explanations — weather, other armies, later statutes, or independent cultural change — remain live where the sources do not close them.
