Biography:
Protestant theologian and professor at the Berner Gymnasium. Interested in botany: he made botanical expeditions in the mountains around Bern. His observations (for example of 39 plant species) were published in Valerius Cordus (1561, edition by Gessner). Aretius also owned a garden in Bern and provided Conrad Gesner with a catalogue of his garden (mentioned by Gessner in his 'Horti Germaniae', 1561).

His interest in botany was aroused by his friend and landlord, the physician Johannes Stock, when Aretius was studying and working at the university of Marburg (around 1548). Maybe he also met Carolus Clusius there, who was studying in Marburg at the same time.

Correspondent of Carolus Clusius (1562).

Biography:
Courtier and plant expert in Malines. Connected to the Habsburg court in Malines and Brussels. Patron of Carolus Clusius and correspondent with many naturalists.

Brancion cultivated and collected exotic plants in his gardens in Malines. He used a large international network for exchange of information and seeds. For example his relationship with Aldrovandi (exchange of seeds etc., see Aldrovandi ms. 136, Bologna).

Close friend and the immediate succesor as Carolus Clusius' patron and host after death Charles de Saint Omer. Clusius stayed often with him in the period 1568-1573.

After his death in 1575 his nephew Johannes Dilfius (Van der Delft / Dilft), took care of his garden and belongings, when he died the garden was robbed and destroyed. Clusius regrets that the famous and precious De Brancion's collection of books, fossiles and curiosities was lost for him, because it was impossible to reach Mailines in the summer of 1580 due to the religious struggles (writes Clusius to Camerarius d.d. 4-08-1579, see Hunger II).

Brancion mentions a large number of persons in his letters to Clusius (University Library Leiden), mostly family but also Rasse and Mouton, Lobel and Dodonaeus.

Biography:
Physician, botanist and naturalist. Son of Joachim Camerarius I & brother of Joachim Camerarius II. Married with Otillia Uthmann. Ludwig Camerarius owned a botanical garden, first in Nuremberg with his brother Joachim II Camerarius (1571), later in Annaberg (from 1570 onwards?).

Ludwig Camerarius probably met Carolus Clusius for the first time in Paris in 1565 (see letter to Crato 16-06-1565 in Roze, 1899, p. 33). He corresponded with Clusius on botany, and on mutual friends from Paris: Hubertus Languetus, Franciscus Thorius and several others interested in botany, among them his brother Joachim II Camerarius, and Johannes Crato.

Biography:
Casabona is believed to have been born in Maastricht. He served as a botanist at the Florentine court and was prefect of the medical garden of the University of Pisa (1592-1595). He made an important botanical excursion to Crete with Joachim Jungermann and an anonymous German artist / soldier (possibly Daniel Fröschl, but Ubriszy (2006) identifies him as George Dyckman, Tongiorgi Tomasi, 1991, p. 63-66). Joachim Jungermann and Casabona knew each other well and went on botanical trips together often, as becomes clear from their correspondence with Carolus Clusius. A letter by Casabona to Wilhelm IV is in Marburg (7-4-1590 in German), a copy is in the Leiden University Library.

Casabona frequently exchanged seeds and bulbs with Clusius. He sent him seeds he collected from Crete. The inventory list of seeds Clusius sent to Leiden in November 1592 is in Hunger, 1927, pp. 198-201.

In 1587 and again in 1590 Clusius was cheated by a certain gardener named Bartolomeus, who told Casabona that he was an herbalist at the court of the Count Palatinate in Hessen and then received many seeds and bulbs for Casabona's German friends. But Bartolomeo never delivered this package to Clusius. But a letter Culsius wrote to Camerarius (dd 16-05-1590),he sent only a letter. A letter from Casabona to Clusius (dd 6-4-1590) suggests that he was called Bartolomeo Moracu ... (his last name is hard to read) and he worked in the service of Wilhelm IV. This letter mentions a certain Joachim de Simplistica, who might possibly be Joachim Gille.

Casabona was a botanist at the Florentine Court who frequently exchanged seeds and bulbs with Clusius.
