The Abbaye de Thélème (English: Abbey of Theleme) was an abbey in western France.[1] It operated as a collective utopia, where its members had permission to live however they chose, receiving intensive education on the arts and general knowledge, including languages. Accepting only exceptional people, it was celebrated by François Rabelais in his 1534 novel Gargantua.[2]
During his latter years, Leonardo da Vinci, with the aid of Thomas More, selected this location as a haven, a secretive location conducive to the construction of an Assassin refugesmeant to train and initiate apprentices. Within a month of his death on 2 May 1519,[3] the Assassins managed to decipher the clues he left behind and uncovered the site.[1]
