Reviews

""Messengers of Infinity is a transformative rereading of a well-known figure that cuts through scholasticism and allows you to see an aspect of a work that scholarship obscured. The prose is lucid and inviting, with no shred of jargon and few technical terms, making this work equally appealing to both phenomenologists and fans of Leonardo.""—Paul North, author of Bizarre-Privileged Items in the Universe: The Logic of Likeness ""Rigorously argued and deeply felt, this is a fresh and welcome addition to Leonardo studies."" — Amy Knight Powell, author of Depositions: Scenes from the Late Medieval Church and the Modern Museum
