Now , let’s seriously analyse Mathurine, who we think, must be from Leonard de Vinci’s hand, too. We will use the same method, of course.
Hidden symbols appear, revealed by the mirror, and others too. |
 |
| The broach is made of interlaces which look much like those painted by LDV. They look like two holding hands. Marcel Brion, in his « dictionnaire des symboles », tells us about it. He says: « LDV’s predilection for intrelaces is wellknown. The interlace can be considered as a symbolic form of all LDV's search running after the lost unity, a picture of this man's thought, a portrait of the man himself, a summary of his philosophy. |
 |
|
 | The milan appears among the birds consecrated to Apollon, the flight of which was full of signs. His meaning symbolises percerptiveness. In his notes LDV wrote "I was in my cradle. A milan came and opened my eyes with his tail, then he hits my lips several times". |
|
 |  |
| The cross, the most complete universal symbol, is the great route fo communication. The sword in a heart symbolises, then, the two man's routes looking for initiation ' by heart and spirit'. |
|
 | The lis is the symbol of purity and love. If it is sublimated, it becomes flower of glory. This notion isn't the equivalence we can set up between the lis and the lotus. The lis symbolises the renunciation to god's grace. |
|
| The rat is the symbol of intelligence able to penetrate the most difficult problems. |
 |
|
 | In the middle of the star appears the face of the follower or the master, father of alchimists Hermès or Thot.. |

Among the old symbols of Christ can be found the six branched star, that's the the double triangle of the 'Solomon's mark'. In fact in the symbolism of a very closed school to which 'Albert le Grand' and 'St Thomas d'Aquin' belonged, the right angle triangle represents Divinity,and the reverse triangle represents human nature"looking like God's picture' as his reversed reflect in the'mirror of waters' so that the union of the two triangles represents the union of the two natures 'Lahut and Nasut in the islam esotericism'.
We can notice, in the special point of view hermetism, that the human compound:'spiritus,anima corpus' corresponds to the compound of the alchimic principle'sulphur,mercury, salt' from René Guénon 'The symbolism of the cross'. |  |

 | The swan and the rat, Apollon's inseparable companions. The swan sits on or lays the egg of the world, so did the Nile goose in ancient Egypt. So did the hamsa sitting on brahmanda on the primordial waters in the tradition of India, or Leda and Zeus' egg, part of the symbolic system of alchemy. |
|
Inachos, king of Argos, god of the river to which he gave his name, had a daughter' Io' whose legend is one of the best known and of the richest in the greek poesy.
Zeus was charmed by this lovely princess. He joined her but he had to transform her into a white heifer in order to shield her from his wife's jealousy. But Hera sent a horsefly which harshly stung the heifer which wandered a long time to recover her appearance, in Sais ( Egypt) where the egyptian and the greek mythologies meet. |

Join the sign of the star.( in french: rat+lis= rallie/ signe= swan) |

A body
Tell its suffering, shows its handicap
Let's examine the left hand. The position of the wrist indicates it is supporting a dead hand, the mouth, the eye, more fixed, make the doctors diagnose a stroke of hemiplegia.
...what happened to Leonardo da Vinci at the Château de Cloux.
A soul
"O you who are sleeping, what is really sleep ? The sleep looks like death !
O why don't you accomplish a work, so great that after your death you will represent the picture of a perfect life ?
You who, alive, do this in your sleep like a sad dead man" quotation of Leonardo da Vinci
A spirit
In the greek mythology, the swan and the rat, servants of Apollo, suggest the invisible presence of the Greek god Apollo, symbol of the victory over violence, of a self-control in enthousiasm. He is one of the most beautiful symbols of human rise.

The canticles of the canticles
Put me down on your heart like a seal, put me down on your arm like a seal beacause love is stronger than death.

The task is achieved

And now ? Vinci's way to tell us…
Numerous are those who have understood what Mathurine really means…
Admittedly a maidservant whose mission was to transmit, to let us guess in a historical way, for ever, the gift of a garment, the black cloak of the Master, precisely described.
This heritage was to keep the memory of a second one, well hidden, a dangerous secret at its time, the Testamentum, to be transmitted to humanity.
The picture of the servant is not insignificant. The one who was supposed to pass through centuries without being noticed has already filled her mission.
Knowing we shouldn't trust modest appearences of the character, the Testamentum of the initiated appears in its spiritual beauty: hold me like a seal on your heart, hold me like a seal on your arm because love is stronger than death.
The beautiful face of the master appears inside the hexagram and reminds us that all of us are children of the earth and stars and the young servant who, one day, gave birth to this beautiful child, whose name extends all over the world, which country did she come from?
Has this question got an answer? But what is important is that she was a servant.
