The eminent cardinal

My comment:

Nicolas de Cues was one of the most important and original thinkers of the fifteenth century. A philosopher, theologian, canon lawyer, mathematician, church statesman, and cardinal, this translation text is referring to his abilities and achievements not a special title. So the use of either great or eminent cardinal would be correct. Personally I would choose eminent cardinal.

I hope this helps.

Best regards,

David de Boniface
