This essay is intended as a brief reflection on the resonance that Leonardo’s work in the Sala Grande, commissioned by the Florentine Republic, enjoyed among his contemporaries. I will comment on the evidence for Leonardo’s activity as it appears in literary text—both printed and manuscript—from the first half of the sixteenth century, and lead up to the Torrentiniana version of the Lives, the editio princeps published by Vasari in 1550 in Florence.
