The difference between light and lustre.

Of the difference between light and lustre; and that lustre is not included among colours, but is saturation of whiteness, and derived from the surface of wet bodies; light partakes of the colour of the object which reflects it (to the eye) as gold or silver or the like.

Taken from The Notebooks of Leonardo da Vinci edited by Jean Paul Richter, 1880.
