Abstract
I conducted a detailed examination of the notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci, engaging with two translations that are highly regarded by Da Vinci scholars. I will present several groupings of quotes and techniques culled from Da Vinci‟s notebooks that can be employed in various stages of qualitative research such as: observation, triangulation, productive ambiguity, negative capability, and data interpretation with examples from some of my studies. We will engage in some of Da Vinci‟s exercises.
