Lapo da Castiglionchio the Younger

Lapo da Castiglionchio the Younger (1406 – October 1438) was a Renaissance humanist and translator from Greek into Latin.

A grandson of Lapo da Castiglionchio the Elder, he was probably born in Florence.

He was a pupil of Francesco Filelfo at the University of Bologna in 1428.

[1] He wrote a scurrilous deadpan satiric dialogue on the papal curia, De curiae commodis (1438), "On the benefits of the Curia".
