I write curriculum for teaching writing. I would like to print large portions of this article in my curriculum as a source of information about Leonardo. Students would use it as one of their sources for a research paper about Men of the Renaissance. Of course, your website would be credited and the students would be required to include it their bibliographies. How can obtain permission to use this article?

Wow! This is really great Jennifer! Thanks so much for sharing. I have this book on my wishlist at the Paperback Swap. I really like this series of books from what I have seen so far. We have the one on Shakespeare and I am also hoping to get the ones on WWI, WWII and the Civil War.
This would make a great summer study! ( :

Heather and Renae, thanks for the mention of the other resources, I'll add those to the end of the post! e-Mom, I was surprised, too, at how well the images turned out, especially Lady with Ermine! Yes, one does wonder about his parentage. Some sources say his mother was a slave from the Middle East, so that's an interesting story... Mrs. Darling, thank you -- Ms. Herbert did the work, really! I just summarized and gave you some of the best activities in the book. But for a smaller unit study, you can just use what I have here...but the book is really worth buying, or borrowing from the library.

Goodness girl, what a lot of work! This is wonderful! A person doesnt even have to do the footwork themselves. What a timesaver. Thanks for the post.

Thanks for this well-written and informative post, Jennifer. The reproductions turned out very well on your blog. Less well-known by Leonardo is “Lady with Ermine.” She is exquisite, isn’t she? Indeed: “Nature herself was jealous.”

Such beauty and such loveliness! And all this from an illegitimate child. Remarkable artistic talent and a robust intellect united; I wonder which of Leonardo’s parents contributed to what aspects of his personality? His gifts are unique, and no doubt their rare combination are the result of his unusual parentage: a peasant woman and an ambitious notary. :~D

Very nice, as always! Thanks for taking the time to put together such a comprehensive study.

There are also some free ebooks on Wowio.com about Da Vinci. This one is about his inventions with instructions for kids: http://www.wowio.com/users/product.asp?BookId=497
