  Leonardo da Vinci - Wikipedia
Nach einer anderen Geschichte soll ein Bauer aus Vinci in seiner Naivität Ser Pier nach einem auf einem Holzschirm gemalten Bild gefragt haben; der Vater soll den Auftrag lachend an seinen Sohn weitergereicht haben.
Aber nichts kam bei diesem Ersuchen heraus, und innerhalb kurzer Zeit scheint das Denkmal ganz zerstört worden zu sein.
Das Ergebnis ist zwar fabelhaft in der Qualität, aber bedauerlich mager in der Quantität.

De Da Vinci Code is een buitengewoon spannend verhaal, maar Dan Brown is niet eerlijk als hij zegt dat alle beschrijvingen van kunstwerken, architectuur en documenten in het boek waarheidsgetrouw zijn.
Daarna neemt het verhaal een onverwachtse wending, waardoor het aan geloofwaardigheid inboet (het kan eigenlijk ook helemaal niet).
De Da Vinci code daarentegen is gewoon een vlot boek dat een idee brengt zoals er duizend in een dozijn gaan.

 De-Coding Da Vinci
What seems to intrigue readers is that the characters in The Da Vinci Code have answers to these questions, and they are expressed in the book as factually based, supported by the work and opinions of historians and other researchers.
In her excellent new book De-coding Da Vinci: The Facts Behind the Fiction of The Da Vinci Code (Our Sunday Visitor, 124 pp., $9.95), Amy Welborn gives a sprightly, detailed, and highly satisfying account of the truth behind the pseudo-history.
As a former high school teacher and a lay Catholic theologian with several books to her credit, Welborn is admirably suited for the task she undertakes, which is to make epistemology accessible to the general public by exposing the termite-ridden foundations of Dan Brown's unwitting Gnosticism.

The raised location of the intermediate shaft and smaller driving gears greatly reduces the risk of snapping the cross-over chain or bending chainrings.

A writer who sees a pointed finger as a throat-cutting gesture, who says the Madonna of the Rocks was painted for nuns instead of a lay confraternity of men, who claims that da Vinci received “hundreds of lucrative Vatican commissions” (actually, it was just one…and it was never executed) is simply unreliable.
