[Quadricentenary: death of the humanist Christophe Plantin (1520-1589), editor of medical works].
During the XVIth century, which was one of the most actively intellectual centuries of our era, philosophers and artisans worked hand in hand to spread and advance the cause of the sciences, and particularly those which pave the way for the adequate practice of medicine. This is magnificently illustrated by the life and work of a Frenchman who set up a publishing house abroad which was, and still is, a real beehive of energy, where each worker had his specialisation, a cultural centre and a refuge of humanism.
