Leonardo's Virtuvian Man: A Renaissance Microcosm, Charles Carman
Quidditas
Human nature is that nature which...elevated above all the works of God...enfolds intellectual and sensible nature...so that the ancients were right in calling it a microcosm, or a small world. Hence, human nature is that nature which, if it were elevated unto a union with Maximality, would be the fullness of all the perfections of each and every thing.
–Nicholas of Cusa
