   Criticisms of The Da Vinci Code

   The contention that the "Mona Lisa" was painted by Leonardo as a self-portrait has been officially dismissed, as Mona Lisa's historical identity has recently been discovered to be Lisa del Giocondo (however, this was unknown to be a certainty prior to The Da Vinci Code's publishing) despite Lillian Schwartz of Bell Labs, and Digby Quested of the Maudsley Hospital in London having used "morphing" techniques to argue that the resemblance to Leonardo's alleged self-portrait is striking. ... "Mona" is a contraction of "madonna" (meaning 'my lady' or 'madam'); "Lisa" is proven to be derived from Lisa del Giocondo.
