Biography:
Nephew of Joachim II Camerarius. Studied at Padua University with Joachim (III) Camerarius in 1588, where he met, among others, J. A. Cortuso. Joachim II Camerarius visited both in 1590. In Florence he met J. Casabona, the court botanist of the Medici. He died young during a trip in Greece.

A extensive correspondence between Jungermann and his uncle is kept in UB Erlangen (120 letters to Camerarius).

C. Clusius, Rariorum plantarum historia (Antwerp 1601) 204.

C. Clusius, Exoticorum libri decem (Leiden 1605) App Rariorum image 476.

Clusius mentions Jungermann for the first time in a letter to Camerarius of 1586, probably they have met in Nürnberg during Clusius visit to Camerarius in the autumn of 1586. Clusius and Jungermann had a frequent correspondence about botanical matters of which nearly everything is lost (see references to this correspondence in Clusius letters to Camerarius in Hunger II). Clusius, among other things, writes that Jungermann could have become the most learned botanist of Germany or even of Europe (of the "Reipublicae Litterariae") and he thinks that Camerarius has to take care of the botanical collections and notes of his nephew (letters dd 7-12-1590 and 18-01-1591).

Biography:
Born 1562 in Angoulême, married to Olive de l'Huys. He came from an originally Irish family (d'Esmond) and his father Francois de Nesmond had been a high official in Angoulême and Bordeaux before him. André de Nesmond became President of the Parlement de Bordeaux, and is mentioned usually as President Chezac.

He loved plants and had a garden, and was discussing them and exchanging with Levenier / Venerius.

"Remontrances, ouvertures de palais, et arrets prononcez en robes rouges par Messire André de Nesmond, seigneur de Chezac, premier President au Parlement de Bourdeaux. Poitiers, Anthoine Mesnier, 1617."

In fact we have no letters from Nesmond-Chezac to Clusius, but 1 letter by him is included in the correspondence of Levenier / Venerius to Clusius, this letter was addressed to Levenier, but from his letters it is clear that Chezac knew Clusius and had once written a letter to him.

Biography:
Maecenas. Lawyer and linguist, humanist, expert in numismatics. Mayor of Bruges in 1587-1588.

The brothers Marc and Guido Laurin combined an interest in nature with a passion for ancient history and were famous at the time for their collection of antique coins. Guido was Heer van Klinkerland.

Owned with his brother (and lived there from 1557) townhouse Watervliet in Bruges and a countryhouse with gardens (originally named Blauhuys, but later changed into Laurocorinth) just outside town. They established the first private printing press in these regions and acted as patron to the artist, numismatic expert and printer Hubert Goltzius (1526-1583, uncle of the artist Hendrik Goltzius), whom they appointed as head of their private printing press at their country house. They can be considered as core figures in the circles of Bruges humanists. Laurocorinth was demolished in 1578, when the countryside around Bruges was plundered.

In 1579 a brief civil war broke out in Bruges: the Protestants won and in 1580 prominent Catholics, among them Guido Laurin, had to flee the city, but he returned in 1584, when circumstances had improved, and held the office of mayor in 1587-88.

He was a personal friend of Clusius. Also close friend of Saint Omer, and like him patron of artists and scientists.
