ISBN10: 0684844524, ISBN13: 9780684844527, [publisher: The Free Press, New York] Hardcover First Edition A very nice copy with dust jacket, without flaw. 6.5 X 9.5" 278 pages. Few people know that Leonardo da Vinci and Niccolo Machiavelli crossed paths when Leonardo worked - ostensibly as an engineer, possibly as a spy - in Cesare Borgia's court while Machiavelli was Florence's ambassador there. Astonishingly, the pair joined together under the inspiration of one of Leonardo's most fantastic dreams - to build a system of canals that would make the Arno River navigable from Florence to the sea. Under Machiavelli's supervision, the Florentine government tried - and ultimately failed - to realize a portion of this plan in 1504. Here Professor Roger D. Masters unfolds a study of genius, a rich and delightful introduction to the wonders of the Renaissance, and one of history's most tantalizing might-have beens.
