Antonius Wierix (1555/9-1604), was a Flemish printmaker and publisher, and member of the Antwerp Wierix family who made engravings after well known artists, including Albrecht Durer. His brothers Jan and Hieronymous were also engravers.

Bernardino Passeri (1577-1585) was a painter, designer, engraver and print publisher. He was mostly active in Rome. Amongst his achievements were a set of fifty plates he designed delineating the life of St Benedict. They were engraved by Aliprando Caprioli and published in 1579.
