A. Planchart writes that a petition mentionning Simon Mellet's roman service in the 1430s was issued by "Cardinal Nicolas of Forli" (Planchart PCR) or "Cardinal Niccolò Asti da Forlì" (Planchart 2018, p. 781). There was no cardinal of that name, the only cardinal named Nicolas in the 1430s being Niccolo Albergati. But this must refer to a doctor very active in the papal curia, whose full name is "Nicolas de Cechi de Astis de Forlivio". He appears in many procedures concerning benefices in the Low countries, including Cambrai and Liège, some of which are listed below.
Dubrulle 1905, p. 293 : 481. Décembre 8. -Nicolas de Cechi de Astis de Forlivio s'oblige à payer les annates pour un canonicat et une prébende dans l'église de Cambrai (v. 100 l. t.), conféré à Rome, S. A., 2 des nones de décembre an 15 (4 décembre 1429).-IV, fol.97.
Concilium Basiliense, t. 2, p. 458 : Incorporation le 7 août 1433 au Concile de Bâle de "Nycolaus de Forlivio, medicus, prepositus Caminensis". Dessart 1951, p. 704, précise qu'il s'agit de "Nicolas Cechi de Astis de Forli, médecin du pape, familier du cardinal-archevêque de Rouen, archidiacre de Condroz".

Comments: A. Planchart writes that a petition mentionning Mellet's roman service in the 1430s was issued by "Cardinal Nicolas of Forli" (Planchart PCR) or "Cardinal Niccolò Asti da Forlì" (Planchart 2018, p. 781), whom he then designates as Mellet's Patron. There was no cardinal of that name, the only cardinal named Nicolas in the 1430s being Niccolo Albergati. But historians of the roman curia do mention the career of a doctor in medicine whose full name is "Nicolas de Cechi de Astis de Forlivio" who appears in procedures concerning benefices in the Low countries, including Cambrai and Liège.
