Thomas Platter the Younger (/ˈplɑːtər/; German: [ˈplatɐ]; c. 24 July 1574 in Basel – 4 December 1628 in Basel)[1] was a Swiss-born physician, traveller and diarist, the son of the humanist Thomas Platter the Elder.
The foremost record of Platter's life is the manuscript journal he kept, written in German,[2] between around 1595 and 1600.[3] It details his life as a medical student in Montpellier and his later travels in France, Spain, Flanders, and England. The diary supplies detail on many aspects of late sixteenth-century European culture: medical education (including dissections), street and carnival life in Barcelona, European theatre, and the practicalities of the slave trade.[1]
