Signature
Giovanni Faber (or Johann Faber, sometimes also known as Fabri or Fabro; 1574–1629) was a German papal doctor, botanist and art collector, originally from Bamberg in Bavaria, who lived in Rome from 1598. He was curator of the Vatican botanical garden, a member and the secretary of the Accademia dei Lincei.[1] He acted throughout his career as a political broker between Maximilian I, Elector of Bavaria and Rome.[2] He was a friend of fellow Linceian Galileo Galilei and the German painters in Rome, Johann Rottenhammer and Adam Elsheimer. He has also been credited with inventing the name "microscope".[3]
