Christophe Plantin was a French Renaissance humanist and book printer and publisher who resided and worked in Antwerp. Early on the quality of his work as a bookbinder brought him into contact with nobility and wealth. By 1549, he headed one of the most well-respected publishing houses in Europe and is probably best known for his Polyglot Bible, which has parallel texts in Latin, Greek, Syriac, Aramaic, and Hebrew. Latin and Greek classics, multilingual dictionaries, ligurgical books and editions of St. Augustine and St. Jerome were issued by Plantin, who had 20 presses and 73 workmen by 1575. Plantin adopted a printer's mark which would appear in various forms on the title pages of all Plantin Press books. The motto Labore et Constantia ("By Labor and Constancy") surrounds the symbol of a pair of compasses held by a hand extending from a bank of clouds and inscribing a circle. The center point of the compasses indicates constancy, the moving point which renders the circle is the labor. Plantin holds this instrument in portraits of him, such as the one commissioned from the Flemish painter Peter Paul Rubens.
