Bucali Leonardo

Bucali Leonardo , ou Busalis, a Calabrian Abbot, of Spanish descent, has been reckoned among the followers of Servetus, and is mentioned by Lubieniecius, as a member of the celebrated society at Vicence. When this society was dispersed, he sought among the Turks that safety, which was denied him in a professedly Christian land ; and having found his way to Damas, supported himself by following the trade of a tailor, and ended his life there.

There was another Leonardo, a Court Preacher at Cracow, who was removed from his office on account of his religion: but whether he was the same person as the Leonardo Bucali, who forms the subject of the present article, seems doubtful.

Bock also mentions another Leonardo, who became known to him, in the course of his inquiries concerning the society at Vicence, and who bore the surname of Pomarus. It appears that he was a Spaniard ; and perhaps he ought to be reckoned among the friends, or patrons of Servetus.
