First Edition. Mattaire, a French-born classical scholar and bibliographer, spent most of his life in England, where he taught and amassed an important library of early printed books. He is best known for his works on the history of printing, including this one, which contains biographies of Parisian scholar-printers Simon de Collines, Michel Vascosan, Adrien Turnebo, Jean Bienné, and Guillaume Morel and his descendants together with catalogues of their editions arranged both chronologically and by subject.
