The '' Gulden Passer '' or Golden Compasses was the device of the Plantin Press. This publication, closely related to the Plantin Museum of Antwerp, deals with the history of this printing press, one of the most important of 16th-century Europe and the only one to survive intact into the 21st century. ( Unesco world heritage site). The periodical covers all aspects of the history of 16th-18th c. publishing and printing at the Plantin Press, including Antwerp and the Low Countries. It contains many articles on 16th-century European humanistic culture as Plantin was one of the pivotal figures north of the Alps. Some yearbooks are complete studies in itself. E.g. Year 1933 which contains the Peeters-Fontainas bibliography of Spanish imprints from the Southern Low Countries, 1983-1985 which is the Liber Amicorum for Professor Leon Voet, for many years the curator of the museum Plantin-Moretus, 1988-89 Studia in Memoriam C. Plantini , 2002 an exhaustive study on the library of P.P. Rubens ; on Justus Lipsius and Plantin....The periodical is still in publication. A complete set is very difficult to assemble. Especially the pre-war issues are hard to find (they were already in the 1960's reprinted by Kraus Reprint. Even this reprints are scarce."‎
