Leo, in Corsica

Leo of Corsica (fl. 590s–600s) was a bishop who appears 5 times in this collection as a recipient of Pope Gregory the Great's letters. Gregory wrote to him about the management of his island diocese. The letters to Leo are part of Gregory's extensive correspondence with the churches of the Western Mediterranean islands — Corsica, Sardinia, and Sicily — which fell under close papal supervision.
