Denis Janot

Denis Janot (also spelled Denys) (fl. 1529–1544) was a printer and bookseller from Paris, France, whose store was near Notre-Dame de Paris.[1] Janot, who was born into a family of printers and booksellers and married into another such one, was notable for printing books in the vernacular, especially in the field of the humanities, and for commissioning illustrations for the books he printed. He is responsible for printing many of the notable classical authors as well as for contemporary ones, particularly in the matter of the Querelle des femmes, the contemporary discussion over the status of women.
