Simon de Colines
1523Jun, 9

French Parliament fines Simon de Colines for publishing the Biblical commentary Commentarii initiatorr in quatuor Evangelia by Jacques Lefèvre d'Étaples.

Simon de Colines (c. 1480 – 1546) was a Parisian printer and one of the first printers of the French Renaissance. He was active in Paris as a printer and worked exclusively for the University of Paris from 1520 to 1546. In addition to his work as a printer; Colines worked as an editor, publisher, and punchcutter.: 62  Over the course of his lifetime, he published over 700 separate editions (almost 4% of books published in 16th-century Paris).: 64  Colines used elegant roman and italic types and a Greek type, with accents, that were superior to their predecessors. These are now called French old-style, a style that remained popular for over 200 years and revived in the early 20th century.: 53  He used rabbits, satyrs, and philosophers as his pressmark.
