Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the rich history of printing during the reign of King François I of France during the 16th century. It begins by exploring the significant role King François I played in supporting scholars and establishing the Collà ge Royal for the study of Hebrew, Greek, and Latin. The book then focuses on the creation of the royal printing press in the Louvre and the appointment of two royal printers, Robert Estienne for Hebrew and Latin, and Conrad Nà obar for Greek. It highlights the king's commission of three new typefaces of Greek characters specifically designed for the press, known as the types royaux. These types were widely used by royal printers and others, leaving a lasting impact on typography. The loss of the original matrices used to create these types adds an intriguing historical mystery to the narrative. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
