Franciscans
Persons in the research of playing card prohibition during 15th century.
1. Bernardino of Siena (8 September 1380 – Aquila, Italy 20 May 1444)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bernardino_of_Siena
preached against playing cards in the period around 1424 (very active 1417-1426, after this attacked for some time)
Observant Franciscan
2. John Capristan (June 24, 1386 – October 23, 1456)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/John_Capistran
preached against playing cards in Germany (possibly also in Austria, Poland) 1451-1455
Observant Franciscan, friend of Bernardino
3. Giacomo (James) della Marche (1391 – November 28, 1476)
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_of_the_Marches
Thierry Depaulis: "Early Italian Lists of Trumps" in The Playing Card, 36, 1 (July-Sept 2007), pp. 39-50.
Depaulis discusses a text of Giacomo and the "Sermones de Ludo cum aliis" on pp. 39-41, and presents the card texts of both on pp. 48-50 (no translation). Giacomo's text is partly identical to the "Sermones de Ludo cum aliis". Depaulis dates this earlier version (which does not include a reference to Trionfi cards) to "1460".
Observant Franciscan

became "Minister general" of the Franciscans in 1464
... and cardinal in 1467

... and became pope in 1471
********
Further Popes of interest:
9. Pope Eugen (Pope 1433-1447)
helped the Franciscans ... and likely was responsible for increased playing card prohibition in Italy in the 1440s.
11. Nicholas V. (an anti-pope in the years 1328-30)
a Franciscan pope as Nicholas IV (Franciscan friar) and Nicholas III (strong promoter of the Franciscans)
12. Nicholas V. (real pope 1447-1455)
made San Bernadino a saint in 1450 and chose a name, which remembered the deepest Franciscan crisis in the 1320s. He finished the last schism in the Catholic Church 1439-1449. In his time
13. Pope Paul II (Pope 1464-1471)
made (the later pope) Sixtus IV (Conventual Franciscan) a cardinal

learned "card-burning" from Marco Fantuzzi (see above) in 1493 and burnt cards in 1497
was interested to install an independent Dominican Observant congregation in San Marco in Florence
********************************
Other preachers, noted, cause they somehow reflect the dominant person San Bernardino
18. Vincent Ferrer (1350 - 1419) ... a successful preacher before San Bernardino
His style of preaching (and his success) might have influenced San Bernardino. A relation to playin cards prohibition is not known.
19.Thomas Conecte, a Northern Playing card preacher (known between 1428-1433)
20. Meister Ingold, Dominican in Straßburg, wrote in 1432 the "Guldin Spil", a work against games (between them also playing cards)
