Simon de Colines was one of the greatest typographers, printers, and publishers of the Renaissance. He has nevertheless been unfairly neglected. Apart from a pair of scholarly bibliographies, published a century apart, this is the first book length study of his work. Kay Amerts insightful and informative research of de Colines, edited by Robert Bringhurst, reveals a major study of an important Renaissance figure.
"COLINES, SIMON De, born 1480, died 1546.
French printer who pioneered the use of italic types in France. He worked as a partner of Henri Estienne, the founder of an important printing house in Paris.
Estienne died in 1520, and Colines married his widow and was in charge of the press until Estienne's son Robert I entered the business in 1526, by which time Colines had set up his own shop nearby. In 1528 he began to use italic type. Colines published many Greek and Latin classics. Although he was not a scholar himself, he extended the range of the Estienne firm's learned and scientific works to include the natural sciences, cosmology, and astrology. He is credited with the design of italic and Greek fonts and of a roman face for St. Augustine's Sylvius (1531), from which the Garamond types were derived. In 1525 he published the notable Grandes Heures de Simon de Colines, with decorations by Geoffroy Tory". (Colines, Simon de." Encyclopædia Britannica.
