Other InformationCardinal (from 1604) and diplomat, see DBI vol.XL. Books signed "Jo. Delphini". The signature has also been associated with the bishop of Brescia of the same name (d. 1584); and with the Vicar-general of the Conventual Franciscans in Italy (d. 1561; Bod-inc, IPI); see DBI XXXVI 546-50; for six books attributed to him at the Biblioteca Angelica, Rome, see Enrico Celani, 'Dediche, postille, dichiarazioni di proprietà ecc. nei libri stampati della R. Biblioteca Angelica a Roma', La Bibliofilia 7 (1905-6), pp.138-50, at 13. He would seem to be ruled out by the signature appearing in books from the 1570s, recorded at the Bibliothèque Mazarine, Paris
