Da Vinci's Ghost. by Lester, Toby - 2012: Genius, Obsession, and How Leonardo Created the World in His Own Image.

"Th story of Vitruvian Man is actually two stories: one individual and one collective. The individual story, of course, is Leonardo's own... how [he] came to draw his famous picture... The second story unfolds on a much broader scale. It's the story of how Vitruvian Man first came into being as an idea more than two thousand years ago and then slowly made its way across the centuries toward its fateful encounter with Leonardo. It's a saga of grand proportions..." 275 pages, illustrations including color; 23.5 cm. Very Good in VG pictorial dust jacket. Stock#ofc0648.
