:''For other uses of this name, see Maranta.'' Bartolomeo Maranta, also Bartholomaeus Marantha (1500 – 24 March 1571〔(''Hebrew University Studies in Literature and the Arts'' ) 13, Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Institute of Languages, Literatures & Arts, 1985, p. 178.〕) was an Italian physician, botanist, and literary theorist. The Marantaceae, a family of herbaceous perennials related to the gingers, are named after him.〔James Cook University, "Discover Nature," ( Marantaceae. )〕 His name was also given to a street in Rome.〔Google search (results ), retrieved January 13, 2009.〕 ==Life== Maranta was born in Venosa, in 1500 or 1514, to the lawyer and academic Roberto Maranta, originally from Venosa, and Beatrice Monna, a noblewoman from Molfetta.〔M.N. Miletti, ("Roberto Maranta" ), ''Dizionario Biografico degli Italiani''.〕 Having graduated at Naples, around 1550 he moved to Pisa where he became a student of the botanist and physician Luca Ghini.〔〔William A. Wallace, "Traditional Natural Philosophy," in ''The Cambridge History of Renaissance Philosophy'' (Cambridge University Press, 1990), p. 224 (online. )〕 From 1554 to 1556, he worked with the botanical garden of Naples that Gian Vincenzo Pinelli had founded, and around 1568 helped found a botanical garden in Rome.〔Paula Findlen, ''Possessing Nature: Museums, Collecting, and Scientific Culture in Early Modern Italy'' (University of California Press, 1996), p. 369; French Emblems at Glasgow, ("Sambucus, Joannes: ''Les emblemes'' (1567)." )〕 He was a friend of the naturalist Ulisse Aldrovandi, and twenty-two letters from their correspondence survive.〔PubMed (abstract. )〕 Maranta was also both the friend and rival of Pietro Andrea Mattioli. The two competed upon the death of Ghini over which of them would inherit their teacher's papers and herbarium.〔Paula Findlen, ''Possessing Nature'', pp. 131 and 369.〕 Maranta died in Molfetta or Melfi.〔Camillo Minieri-Riccio, ''(Memorie storiche degli scrittori nati nel regno di Napoli )'', Tip. dell'Aquila di V.
