Guglielmo Sirleto (1514-1585) was an Italian scholar, cardinal and Librarian of the Vatican Apostolic Library from 1872 to his death. A scholar of Latin and Greek, he entertained all friendly relations with the East, including Ethiopia. According to Luis de Urreta, he was made aware of the existence of the Book of Enoch in Ethiopia by two friers who visited the country (in 1578) as members of a delegation sent by Pope Gregory XIII.
