  Christophe Plantin
In 1585 Raphelingen took charge of the printing office at Leyden, and Plantin returned to Antwerp, where, until his death, he endeavoured by the sale of his Bible to indemnify himself for the loss of the twenty thousand florins which the king still owed him.
The extensive character of Plantin's undertakings is shown by the fact that between 1555 and 1589 he published over sixteen hundred works, eighty-three in 1575 alone.
There is but one blot on Plantin's reputation, his relations with the "Famille de la Charité", which can only be explained as due to the unsettled conditions of the times.

As Plantin and a servant walked with the case to the meeting place, he was attacked by drunken men who mistook him for someone else.
Plantin declared his innocence and pointed out that he had been in Paris on business when the book was printed, but it was clear that the book had indeed come from his press.
In 1567 Plantin began the fund raising and preparations for the printing of one of his most famous publications, the Polyglot Bible, a project that would not be completed for several years and that threatened to bankrupt the company.

Plantin's ideological flexibility illustrates what a shrewd businessman he was.
Plantin's printing of the famous Biblia Polyglotta (Bible in five languages) was also dictated by his ideological pragmatism.
Plantin printed a wide array of scientific publications, among which major works on geography (Theatrum Orbis Terrarum Theatrum Orbis Terrarum by Abraham Ortelius), the natural sciences (Kruydtboeck by Mathias Lobelius), anatomy (works by Andreas Vesalius and Joannes Valverde) and mathematics (De thiende by Simon Stevin).

 APHA Award Speech 2002 - Francine de Nave, Plantin-Moretus Museum
The credit for the continuance of the operations of Plantin's enterprise into the second half of the 19th century must be given to the Moretuses.
Following Plantin's motto Labore et Constantia ("Through Work and Constancy"), Plantin's descendants and successors, the Moretuses, were able to become the wealthiest residents of the city and its surroundings through rich marriages, business deals, and all manner of successful monetary speculations.
Established at the end of 1563 by Plantin as a working library for the Press, it was expanded by his bibliophile successors into a richly diversified private library.

A lower court found Plantin guilty in June 2000 and gave him a six-month suspended sentence for publishing materials challenging some aspects of the Holocaust, including the use of gas chambers to kill vast numbers of Jews during the war.
The court deprived Plantin from his masters degree in 2000 and from his doctorate degree in 2001, as it focused, according to the court, on Paul Rassinier, a figure known for questioning the reality of the Nazi’s crimes.
On 13 January 1999, Plantin was arrested at his home and taken to a police station in Lyon, France where, for 24 hours, he was subjected to ignominious treatment.
