| • | Julian, Cardinal Cesarini (Rome 1398 – Varna, Bulgaria November 10, 1444) was one of the group of brilliant cardinals created by Pope Martin V on the conclusion of the Western Schism. His intellect and diplomacy made him a powerful agent of Papal superiority against the Conciliar movement, especially at the Council of Basel. The French bishop Bossuet described Cesarini as the strongest bulwark that the Catholics could oppose to the Greeks in the council of Florence.
Born of a well-established Roman family and educated at Perugia, where he lectured on Roman law and had Domenico Capranica and Nicholas of Cusa among his pupils. When the schism was ended by the general recognition of Martin V as pope, Giuliano returned to Rome, where he attached himself to Cardinal Branda.
The suggestions of wide reform that informed the Conciliar movement were rife, and Cesarini devoted his career to the principles of the outward unity of the Church and its reformation from within.
In 1419 he accompanied Cardinal Branda, who thought highly of him, on his difficult mission to Germany and Bohemia, where the Hussites were in open rebellion. In 1426 Martin V created him cardinal and sent him to Germany to preach a crusade against excesses of the reformers there.
