Best known for being a writer or philosopher?

In fact, yes, 'rediscovered' through his multi-volume De architectura. My wife did her PhD in Renaissance architecture.

So far, we've asked 7 questions, and we now know:

1. White Real Man
2. Dead before 31 Dec. 1599
3. Not British.

A free clue! He was already dead by New Year's Eve, 1600. Now we know that it isn't Rumold Mercator, who was at the top of my shortlist.

To be explicit - it isn't Rumold Mercator.

Was he a famous warrior or military figure?

No, but served and was associated with the military.

@Szpoti, it is your turn

Yup, sure. Socially busy Sunday. Thinking about what obscure Brit to employ.

Vladimir Kramnik?
