About this ebook

This biography is about the 15th-century French humanist and engraver, Geoffrey Tory. He was the only person to have been conferred the title of king's printer, which King François I had never before bestowed upon anyone. Although he is not well-known outside the field of typography, he is widely credited for resuscitating the craft of engraving in France and for adding accents to French letters.
