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).

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
