Jean Ier Du Pré
Printer in Paris, 1481-1504
Imprimeur, libraire-juré
Du Pré’s dated work terminates in 1502 (Inventaire chronologique). The colophon of an edition of December 1504 has impressum ab successoribus magistri Iohannis de prato; it was printed for booksellers in London. Renouard records that his widow Claire Dimanche worked at the same address until 1507 and was still alive in 1513. A book was printed at the sign of the Two Swans in 1514 (IS001404); the Inventaire chronologique (1514, no. 762) records its printer as ‘successeurs de Jean Ier Du Pré?’. Renouard records no other firm working at the Deux Cygnes.
