He had a great knowledge of the classics and also Maths, Science and Art. And then, no man is an island. Besides his natural talents -this man was a genius in every imaginable subject- he lived during a period known as "The Renaissance". There were lots of goings-ons in Europe at that time in most fields: political, philosophical, religious, scientific, cultural and you-name-it. Those brought changes that affected society and great personalities like Da Vinci, who worked for Popes, Kings, noblemen and aristocrats no doubt were aware of all that. He had access to manuscripts and to the first books ever printed. Also, he must have been among the first to hear the news, conflicts and the novelties in everything everywhere and that sure was an advantage at that time and a very good thing for such a wise man.
