12 Freud followed with the novel ìThe Forerunner; the Romance of Leonardo da Vinciî by the Russian poet Dmitri Merezhkovsky (1902) projecting on the Renaissance the decadent motifs of the inhuman genius with demonic weak- nesses, indifference to good and evil and the dominance of scientific interests finally suppressing art. It was Merezhkovsky who initially interpreted Caterina in Leonardoís records as his mother and suggested a fatal connection between mother and son.

14 The translation of Nibbio as Vulture is wrong, but one could still ask Freud, if Leonardo was a Vulture child (with no father), and only female Vultures exist, then why was Leonardo himself not female?

51 Machiavelli, The Chief Works and Others, Vol. 2, 897 In this very ambivalent way, the notorious il Moro, overjoyed with the birth of his first legitimate child, ordered all the bells of Milan to ring for six days. Cesare Borgia, another benefactor of Leonardo borrowed artillery from the duke of Urbino, and then turned them against the lender.

54 The letter was to his friend Francesco Vettori, Florentine Ambassador to the Supreme Pontiff in Rome, and in this letter, Machiavelli had also expounded his astute thoughts on the political disposition in Italy Machiavelli, The Chief Works and Others, Vol. 2, 961
55 His satires on the courts of princes and their fashionable society depicted them as a theatre of the absurd, Ibid., 863- 868

58 Leonardoís other friend in Florence, a sculptor Gian Francesco Rustici, had a more simple way of making frightening jokes. He kept a porcupine, which had the run of the house; it amused him when his guests, stabbed under the table, yelped in pain, Robert Wallace, The World of Leonardo (New York, 1967), 147 This joke is similar to Leonardoís joke of fixing on the back of a lizard, wings, eyes, horns and beard, taming it, and showing it to his friends to make them ìfly for fearî, Vasari, Lives of the Most Eminent Painters, Sculptors and Architects (New York, 1959), 206

85 Leonardo was also fond of creating double-images as some objets díart ñ art objects blending two or more incom- patible objects into one double-object (frightening lion opening his breast full of lilies; a charming lyre in the form of horseís skull transformed into bizarre horrible one-eyed creature, etc). But again, Freudianists cannot claim the organic exclusivity of this double making, for in the Renaissance, this caprice of producing double-effects belonged not only to Leonardo (Gian Francesco Rustici, mentioned above in connection with his porcupine, had dinners where the food, though excellent, was molded into macabre or disgusting forms, Robert Wallace, The World of Leonardo, 147). But Leonardo united extremes in a consistent and ultimate manner.
