Domenico Toschi

Domenico Toschi (June 11, 1535 – March 26, 1620) was an Italian soldier, jurist, and cardinal of the Catholic Church.

After having originally served as a soldier, Toschi trained in Rome and became a noted canon lawyer.

[1] He wrote the multi-volume legal treatise Practicarum conclusionum iuris in omni foro frequentiorum.

Following Baronius' intervention, a scrutiny was taken, and Toschi fell short of election to the papacy by two votes.

He resigned as Bishop of Tivoli in 1606, and was replaced by his nephew, Giovanni Battista Toschi.
