or CAPILUPUS (Camillus), a native of Mantua in the 16th century. He wrote a book intitled The Stratagem; in which he relates not only what was perpetrated at Paris during the massacre on St Bartholomew's day, but also the artful preparations which preceded that horrid massacre. It is, however, blended with a great number of falsities.

(Lelius), an Italian poet brother to the former, made himself famous by some Centos of Virgil. The manner in which he applied Virgil's expressions to represent things, which the poet never dreamt of, is admired. His Cento against women is very ingenious, but too satirical. The poems of Capilupi are inserted in the Delicia Poetarum Italorum.
