  • Leonardo Dati (1360 – 16 March 1425) was an Italian friar and humanist. He was Master general of the Dominican Order from 1414 to his death. He was a Prior of Santa Maria Novella from 1401, and took part in the Council of Pisa of 1409. At the time of the Council of Constance, Dati became Master General of a reunited Dominican Order. His sermons at Pisa and Constance include references to literary texts, and he was well known as an author of commentaries on Aristotle. Leonardo also gave financial aid to his brother Gregorio [or Goro], a Florentine merchant and diarist. Both Leonardo and Gregorio Dati are attributed authorship of La sfera (The sphere), an astronomical-geographic poemetto in ottave, written in the second half of 14th century, and a work much popular in its time. This work in verse gives information about the world, the marinaresche compass and other things, adding observations, notes about travel and designs. In some manuscripts of La sfera there are designs representing ports, headlands, islands, linked by many lines. Dati's sermons on the feast of St. Francis (October 1416) and the feast of the Circumcision of Jesus (January 1417) advocated respect for papal power and reform within the context of the established order. The earlier sermon touched off an exchange of polemical memoranda between Dati and supporters of conciliar supremacy. Dati then addressed issues raised in this exchange in the later sermon. Dati's discussion of circumcision was traditional for his time, describing the jewish rite as superseded by baptism. He is buried in the Cappella Rucellai at Santa Maria Novella. His tombstone is attributed to Lorenzo Ghiberti.
  • Leonardo Dati est un frère dominicain italien et un humaniste, maître de l'ordre dominicain de 1414 à sa mort. On attribue à Leonardo et à son frère Gregorio La sfera (La Sphère), poème sur l'astronomie et la géographie de la fin du Quattrocento, très populaire en son temps.
  • Fu anche generoso sostenitore delle attività del fratello Gregorio Dati, mercante e diarista, cui non lesinò mai il suo aiuto economico. A Leonardo Dati, assieme al fratello Gregorio, è anche attribuita la paternità de La sfera, poemetto in ottave di contenuto astronomico-geografico, risalente alla seconda metà del XIV secolo. Tale opera, allora molto popolare, fornisce al lettore interessanti informazioni sul mondo di quei tempi, sul funzionamento delle bussole coeve e su altre materie marinaresche, arricchite da osservazioni, disegni e note di viaggio. Alcuni manoscritti de La sfera sono poi corredati da veri e propri portolani, che rappresentano le linee di costa, i porti, le isole e descrivono le rotte di navigazione di quell'epoca.
  • Leonardo Dati foi um frade e humanista italiano. Prior de Santa Maria Novella a partir de 1401, participou no Concílio de Constança, como Mestre Geral da Ordem dos Pregadores e representante da República de Florença. Foi eleito mestre-geral em 1414, tendo desempenhado o cargo até à sua morte. Juntamente com o seu irmão Gregório, um comerciante, foi o autor do tratado "La sfera" (A Esfera), um poema em oitavas sobre astronomia/geografia, um exemplo típico de estilo medieval, escrito no final do século XIV e que teve grande popularidade no seu tempo. Dati escrevia em verso, transmitindo informação e conhecimento ao seu público, introduzindo observações, notas de viagens e ilustrações.
