Le Petit Laurens
Printer in Paris, 1491-1517
Imprimeur, libraire-juré (apparently in succession to René du Hamel, 19 March 1505).
Laurens must have worked solely as a bookseller after about 1502: the Inventaire chronologique list books for c.1501 and c.1502 only. Many of his books are undated. The entries listed here were catalogued as incunables by BMC but have been re-dated to the early sixteenth century on typographical grounds. BMC’s IB.40265 (Ordinaire des crestiens, p.163) has been re-ascribed to Antoine Caillaut (IS001949).
