The book world celebrates the 5th centenary of the birth of Christophe Plantin (circa 1520-1589). Native of Touraine, trained in bookbinding, he settled about 1549 in Antwerp, which was already a major hub of international commerce. In 1555, he established the foundations of the largest printing company known during the Ancien Régime in Europe.
