so donīt know if he was that stubborn LOL; anyway Iīd qualify him as determined, he always believed in that cause and thought he was doing something important... Anyway, I agree with you that Leonardo was a total genius!
Personally, Iīd prefer to call it Trajan (Roman emperor from a place near Seville, my city town) or Miguel de Cervantes (greatest writer of all times)
But I think Columbus itīs more adequate because of the New Worldīs Discovery.
Itīs not that easy to find a name...
