Henri Estienne (elder)

Henri Estienne (elder)

Henri Estienne, also known as Henricus Stephanus, was a 16th-century Parisian printer.

Henri (1460?-1520), the first printer of this name, had an establishment of his own in Paris from 1503 to 1520. He was on friendly terms with some of the most learned men of the day, Guillaume Budé, Guillaume Briçonnet, and Jacobus Faber Stapulensis, and had among his proof-readers Beatus Rhenanus. Among his publications were Faber's editions of Aristotle, the "Psalterium quincuplex", and his commentary on the Pauline Epistles.

Henry left three sons, François, Robert, and Charles. François Estienne (1502-1553) published a number of works which had no bearing upon theology. His few impressions, chiefly issues of the classics, were all in Latin except "Psalterium" and a "Horae Virginis" in Greek.
