Biography:
Writer / historian / librarian. Polyglot and polymath. Moved from Napels to Padua in 1558. He had a very special private botanical garden with many rare plants. His house was the meeting place for a kind of private academy (like the Lyncei but less formal). His library was extremely famous, and he knew almost everyone of any importance in Italy.
The part of his library that survived know forms one of the cores of the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milano. The person inheriting his library was his relative, the Duke of Acerenza, or Cerenza (he too died not much later).

Important correspondent of Clusius bringing him in touch with many other Italians.

Biography:
Chemist and merchant. Plateau must have been a relatively wealthy inhabitant of Tournai who owned a big garden and exchanged letters and gifts with many persons with whom Clusius corresponded as well. He may have owned a specialized collection of naturalia -- Cluisus mentiones his 'Museum" in his Exoticorum -- and he sold some of his ornithological curiosities to Charles de Croÿ, Duke of Aerschot (1560-1612), who eventually included Plateau in his staff.
Mentions Louise de Boisot, Boisot himself, Croij-Aerschot, Van Zinnick, Sivry, Plantin, Moretus, Houchin, Porret, Jean Mouton SR + JR, Bidault, Arenberg, Robins, Paludanus, Lobel etc.

Died after 1605.

This can hardly have been the same person as the German Posthius.
