Leonti Mroveli (Georgian: ლეონტი მროველი) was the 11th-century Georgian historian and priest. Mroveli is not his last name, but comes from the title of bishop at Ruisi (near Urbnisi), a post he held as of 1066. Hence, another modern English transliteration of his name is Leontius of Ruisi. A bishop is an ordained member of the Christian clergy who, in certain Christian churches, holds a position of authority. ...
