How can Da Vinci be characterized as a true Renaissance Man?

Many are known about Leonardo da Vinci, yet many things still await to be discovered. Widely considered the “Renaissance man”, he was a man whose curiosity was equaled only by his powers of invention and talent. Among others, he was a scientist, mathematician, engineer, inventor, anatomist, painter, sculptor, architect, botanist, musician and writer. Many claim he was the smartest man to ever live, many claim he was the most talented to ever live… one thing’s for sure: he was a one of a kind man. For example,one remarkable indication that Leonardo wrote backwords was that he was dyslexic in his handwriting. Leonardo was constantly sketching out his ideas for inventions. Most of the time, he wrote his notes backwards.
