About Leonardo Mansueti
Lived 1405 – 1480 (aged 74–75). Leonardo Mansueti was a librarian, catholic priest, friar and catholic theologian.
Leonardo Mansueti was an Italian Dominican and librarian.
He was nominated Master of the Sacred Palace by Pope Paul II in 1465. Mansueti held this important post, which entailed being the Pope's personal preacher and theologian, from 1465 to 1474.
He was Master General of the Dominican Order (1474–1480); his major legacy was commencing registers of the Order of Preachers in more or less continuous series, especially of appointments and inquisitions. Gioralomo Borselli praised Mansueti as being learned, moral, and regular, but criticized him as being too tame in his interactions as Master with Pope Sixtus IV, possibly in the vain hope of being promoted to Cardinal.
