Denis Janot is the prime example of a vernacular printer espousing
the highest standards of French Renaissance printing, highly
influential in the adoption of roman type to the printing of
vernacular material, and a key figure in the development of book
illustration. This bibliography, a comprehensive revison of the
author's Warwick Ph.D. thesis of 1976, listing 391 editions (41
more than the original version), is based firmly on the description
of Janot's books. Some 1300 copies have been examined, about 80% of
the known total. Alongside the bibliography there is an description
of Janot's printing material (including an index of more than 1000
woodcuts), and some analysis of the subjects of his publications.
