Content

 Portrait of Justus Lipsius (1547-1606), versatile scholar (he was, among other things, a philosopher, philologist, historian, diplomat and military expert) and one of the most important humanists in the Netherlands after Erasmus. Normally printers/publishers were more likely to have contact with institutions (schools, universities, ecclesiastical institutions) with which their authors were connected than with the authors themselves. However, such an important author as Lipsius occupied a prominent place with this publisher Christopher Plantin.
