Career
Masius, a native of Leuven, moved to Antwerp to work for Christopher Plantin at the Plantin Press in 1566.[1][2] He left Plantin in 1567 and in 1570 he was licensed as a printer in the city of Leuven.[2] One of his sons, Joannes Masius the Younger, became a printer-bookseller in Ath; another, Bernard or Bernardin, took over his business in Leuven in 1616.[1]
