THE CARTOUCHE OF THE DOUBLE PORTRAIT OF Luca Paciolini AND PUPIL. THE DA VINCI’S ENIGMA DECODED

The e-book offers a preview of the ten-year study on the “Double Portrait of Luca Pacioli and Pupil”, which will soon be published with the scientific support of a reflectographic dossier aimed at providing proof of the provenance of the Capodimonte portrait from Leonardo’s workshop. This preview focuses on the deciphering of the inscription IACO.BAR.VIGEN NIS P.1495 of the cartouche, solving the enigma that underlies it. Based on the results achieved, since 2013 Carla Glori attributed the cartouche to Leonardo. The focus on the cartouche aims to highlight the methodological path followed, in order to demonstrate the scientific nature of the deciphering. The e-book includes a selection from the over three hundred anagrammed sentences, all marked VINCI, which in the book reconstruct the story of the Sforzas in the year 1495, when Duke Gian Galeazzo was poisoned and the ducal title usurped by Moro. This preview is a surprising chapter of the research, where the inscription “IACO.BAR.VIGENNIS P1495 + the keyword MUSCA” is a sort of arcane narrative matrix, which generates anagrams that strictly respect the scientific criteria of repeatability and reproducibility.
