This book was originally published in 1954. Robert Estienne was
born in Paris in the early years of the sixteenth century, the son
of a successful printer-bookseller. He became a printer himself,
and one distinguished not only for the quality of his printing, but
also for his scholarship. He was the most outstanding figure of the
Parisian booktrade at the moment when that trade was one of the
most important agencies of the various intellectual movements which
we summarise as 'The Renaissance'. Estienne was not only a
classical but also a biblical scholar and editor (he is remembered
as much for his editions of the Bible as for the beauty of his
Cicero or for his use of the Garamond Greek types). Mrs Armstrong
gives a full-length historical study of an important and admirable
figure.
