A man for all centuries
CMAJ 2000;163(5):500
| See also: Editor's note / eLetters |
The CMAJ editorial of 11 July 2000 misplaces Leonardo da Vinci, "the 17th-century artist and visionary," [Editorial]1 by about a century: Kenneth Clark cites him as living from 1452 to 1519.2
Fortunately, Leonardo's statements and your comments on them are relevant without reference to dates.

[Editor's note:]
Oops. The year 1513 was incorrectly transcribed as 1613 in a draft of this editorial, advancing da Vinci by a century. Thank you for acknowledging that his words are timeless.
