Michel Du Boys, editor from Paris, is quite well-known in Geneva for his printing in 1541 of the first edition of Calvin’s Institution in French translation. When he then moved to Lyon, Jean Girard remained the only printer in town. He managed to set up a printing workshop with a large selection of roman fonts in the new aldin style, introduced in Paris by Robert Estienne in 1530. This article demonstrates with many examples that these new font types mainly come from or through Michel Du Boys.
