Henri Estienne (elder)

For the Henri Estienne, printer, son of Robert Estienne and grandson of this Henri Estienne, see Henri Estienne.

Henri Estienne (1460 or 1470–1520) also known as Henricus Stephanus,[1] was a 16th-century Parisian printer. Born in Paris in 1460 or 1470, he was the son of Geoffroy d'Estienne and Laure de Montolivet.[2] His brother Raimond d'Estienne became the heir of the Estienne family, while Henri was disinherited by his father in 1482[2] "for having devoted himself to printing", the profession of printer then being the cause of losing your title. Estienne established the Estienne printing firm in 1502 from his wife's deceased husband's Higman Press. After his death in 1520, his wife married his colleague Simon de Colines who took control of the Estienne Press until his son Robert Estienne assumed control of the press in 1526.
