Giovanni Diodati

The Diodatis [it] were part of a group of about sixty noble Luchessi families who had emigrated to Geneva, sometimes called the "Italian Cabal".

[3] Between 1594 and 1597 future Amsterdam burgomaster Jacob Dircksz de Graeff lived for three years in the house of Diodati.

He had previously visited Italy, and made the acquaintance of Paolo Sarpi, whom he endeavoured unsuccessfully to engage in a reformation movement.

Diodati is chiefly famous as the author of the translation of the Bible into Italian (1603; edited with notes, 1607; revised and with metrical psalter, 1641).

He also published French translations of Paolo Sarpi's History of the Council of Trent, and of Edwin Sandys's Account of the State of Religion in the West.
