Leo D'Orvietto
, or Leo Urbevetanus, a
native of that city, is said by some to have been a Franciscan, and by others a Dominican. He left a “Chronicle”
of the popes, which ends in 1314, and one of the “Emperors,” ending 1308, published by father Lamy, at Florence, 1737, 2 vols. 8vo. These chronicles are useful for
the history of those times, to those who can distinguish the
fabulous parts. 2
