Publisher's Synopsis
Have you ever wondered how a genius's mind works? Suppose one day to succeed in deciphering some messages astutely hidden in Leonardo Da Vinci's manuscripts! Illustrious scholars have examined his codes in search of sources still hidden and his intuitions still to disclose, but few have considered his greatest passion; THE REBUS. To try his students' sagacity and intuition, Leonardo da Vinci used to insert clues in his drawings and notes, thus creating encoded rebuses that only the most skilled students succeeded in deciphering. Many of these enigmas, cleverly hidden in a symbology of very difficult interpretation, are still unsolved. Five hundred years from the great genius's death, a new student uses his intuition to make some deductions that lead him to a discovery, which represents the vertex of a series of coincidences and correlations.
