A Bed for Fifty People?

BTW, "Da Vinci" was not Leonardo's surname. You may refer to him as either "Leonardo da Vinci", "Leonardo di ser Piero da Vinci" if there's a reason for the longer form or simply "Leonardo" when it is clear from context which Leonardo the author is referring to.

Thanks for reading! I thought it would be overly pedantic to diverge from the common usage of "da Vinci". However, I was overly pedantic in calling the Mona Lisa by its proper name, so I think it all evens out.

Or simply "Da Vinci" when using the nearly ubiquitous colloquial reference to the same individual.
