Sidronius Hosschius, latinised form of Syderoen de Ho(o)sch, also known as Sidronius de Hossche and Sidron de Hossche (1596 – 1653) was a Flemish poet and Jesuit priest.
His contemporaries held him in great esteem for his elegant Latin verse and his works were reprinted several times during the 17th and 18th centuries.
Jacobus Wallius , or, in the vulgar language, Jacques van de Walle , is a Flemish poet of Latin language (1599-1690)
Attracted both by the Muses and by spirituality, he entered in 1617 to the Jesuits , at a time when this order was a breeding ground for Latin literati and poets.
He was thus able to devote himself freely to the construction of a poetic work full of sensitivity.
