Source Notes
Leo's Notable Nativity No.570 (July 18, OS); original source not known. Other sources say he was born in 1552 in Vienna. (PT notes that the original entry by LMR listed "Prague, Germany" as the birthplace but the coordinates given were for Vienna. Therefore the place has also been changed to Vienna although it is unclear as of this writing whether Leo's book gave "Prague" or "Germany" or just the coordinates shown.
