Reviews"A considerable work of assimilative scholarship and common sense...races along merrily." -- The Boston Globe . "Bramly has dusted off the primary sources to make da Vinci a startlingly prescient, relevant figure in this exceptional biography." -- Publishers Weekly "French novelist and biographer Bramly offers the image of a gifted, methodical, rational, emotionally simple craftsman whose personal life remains wrapped in mysteries--some intentional and others, such as the loss of his grave and many of his works, the results of time and circumstance." -- Kirkus Reviews
