the Renaissance man

Interesting to see this phrase and yet no mention of the one and only Leonardo Da Vinci! (by the way, the Danes just built a smaller version of a bridge he designed...where did he get all this engineering insight way back then? Does our resident architect, Jazzo, have any theories on this?) But I nominate Leonardo as the truest of pantomaths! And I do it through a Mona Lisa smile.

(I enjoyed all the Bachian discussion, by the way)
