L’Inquisition et Leonard de Vinci

Nul ne peut cacher la Vérité indéfiniment. Mue par ses propres exigences, elle finit toujours par se révéler au grand jour.

            Il fut une très longue période de l’Histoire durant laquelle nulle chronique ne pouvait être écrite sans que son auteur redoute la censure de l’Inquisition. La moindre satire risquait d’allumer un bûcher. Il fallait donc inventer un moyen de communication qui puisse échapper aux griffes des censeurs.

            Cependant, l’Histoire a été alimentée de faux témoignages qui n’avaient d’autre objet que de masquer des faits jugés inacceptables. Dès lors, démêler la vérité de ce réseau inextricable de mythes était devenu une entreprise quasi impossible. Certains de ces mythes sont si profondément enracinés dans l’imaginaire collectif qu’il sera sûrement difficile de faire accepter la vérité, tout particulièrement en ce qui a trait à la vie des quatre personnages précités.

The Inquisition & Leonardo Da Vinci

No one can withhold the truth indefinitely. Eventually, powered by its own virtue, it restores itself.

            During a very long period, even a chronicle could not be written without undergoing the scrutiny of the Inquisition. If not very careful, the author of a fable risked fueling a blazing pyre in a public square. Thus, creating a safer means of communication, by any stretch of the imagination, became a necessity in order to escape the claws of censorship. In so doing, history was filled with tortuous lies to mask the facts deemed unbearable at face value. After six centuries of Inquisition, it became crucial to sieve through the facts, as they are known today, to unearth the truth and to restore their true meaning. But some myths are so deeply entrenched in the collective memory that even the truth needs to be corroborated, most particularly relative to the lives of the characters mentioned earlier in this book.
