Abstract: As early as 1544, Louis Meigret entrusted his works to the bookseller Chrétien Wechel, who had never shown any particular interest in French language matters. This important publishing house was very much oriented towards the production of school texts necessary for the learning of humanistic disciplines, great illustrated treatises and works on medicine. Wechel let Meigret, who had joined him as a translator, experiment with his spelling reform.
