It was thought by Robertson: onread.com That the incredible genius and scientific rationality of De Vinci made it probable that no superstitious dogma infused his unlimited thought. Remember that the Catholic church was still torturing and killing. To believe that a man of De Vinci's rationality should swallow the most primitive and transparent of superstitions is asking a bit much. But we don't know. He was extremely secretive (good for him) and the church certainly had no quarrel with him (good for him, again!). I believe that he was a freethinker like the other great benefactors of mankind. But I could be wrong. Even if he was not he was still a great and good man. Greatness and goodness are not limited to freethinkers.
