Hi all, Just found this article while walking along the Mississippi this weekend. I never knew that Leonardo had invented a weaving machine!
https://www.nytimes.com/2018/12/05/fashion/craftsmanship-antico-setificio-fiorentino-florence-italy.html All from the same timeframe, around 1495-1505, and thus potentially related: the ML, the Codex Leicester, the weaving machine, and the Madonna of the Yarnwinder (which like the ML has a river and bridge in the background). https://www.leonardodavinci.net/madonna-of-the-yarnwinder.jsp Here's a silly turn of phrase that occurred to me on one of my walks by the river, trying to compose a poem: "Leonardo lived by the Arno, I the Mississippi." All best wishes and regards, Max
