Now you see it, now you don't A hidden sketch in one of Leonardo da Vinci's notebooks, revealed using multi-spectral imaging. Looks very much as if Leonardo had tried to rub it out. Does it represent Michelangelo's David, dare we ask? bl.uk/events/daggers…

Like many of the manuscripts in the Cotton collection, it was badly burned in the Ashburnham House Fire of 1731. With multi-spectral imaging, we can now uncover many of the previously hidden details, names, seals, and signatures it contains.

This papal bull (Cotton MS Vitellius B IV/I) is one of the most important documents in British history. Given by Pope Leo X in 1521, it conferred on Henry VIII the title Defender of the Faith, a title used to this day by Queen Elizabeth II and now HM King Charles III.

Ministers - if you want to take a screenshot of your resignation letter, it's shift+command+4 on a Mac or Windows+PrtScn on a PC. Stop taking blurred, wonky photos.
