Default The Mike Juster of His Time

Papal puzzler:

"Going by the pseudonym 'X,' Pope Leo XIII anonymously crafted poetic puzzles in Latin for a Roman periodical at the turn of the 19th century.…Eight of his puzzles were published anonymously in 'Vox Urbis,' a Rome newspaper.…A reader who submitted the correct answer to the riddle would receive a book of Latin poetry written by either Pope Leo or another noted Catholic figure."
