Griffi (Lat. Gryphius) Leonardo
an Italian prelate, was born at Milan in 1437. In 1478 he was made bishop of Gubbio, and five years afterwards was transferred to the archbishopric of Benevento. He died at Rome in 1485, leaving (in the collection of Muratori, Scriptores Rerum Italicum, 25:465) a small piece of poetry in hexameter, which narrates the exploits of Braccio de Perouse with Aquila.
