Please remember that Platina is remembered for being 
the first librarian of the Papal library.  In the 
following citation, referenced as the Latin Library.  

Some sources say he catalogued about 2500 entries.  

... and had his picture put on the fresco ... 

Please follow the link and scroll down to the last 
entry to view 

"Melozzo da Forli"; 1477 
http://www.philipresheph.com/a424/gallery/piclib/piclib3.htm 

Platina is kneeling in front of the pope and pointing to 
his name on the plaque.  How _very_ Italian is that?  <g> 

It's worth the download time to view the full image after 
clicking on the thumb.  

<geek>
BTW, as you view the full image, you might be asked to 
download and install an image viewer.  It seems cool to 
allow that.  I haven't seen any ill effects ... yet.  <g> 

On the plus side, you have control of the image size 
... at 200% I can easily see (but not translate -- 
Hint!, Hint!) the Latin inscription on the fresco.
