Denis Janot is the prime example of a vernacular printer espousing the highest standards of French Renaissance printing, highly influential in the adoption of roman type to the printing of vernacular material, and a key figure in the development of book illustration.This bibliography, a comprehensive revison of the author’s Warwick Ph.D. thesis of 1976, listing 391 editions (41 more than the original version), is based firmly on the description of Janot’s books. Some 1300 copies have been examined, about 80% of the known total. Alongside the bibliography there is an description of Janot’s printing material (including an index of more than 1000 woodcuts), and some analysis of the subjects of his publications.

“The compilation of such a comprehensive and detailed bibliography, with its interpretative apparatus, concerning the remarkable output of an early modern printer, is an impressive undertaking. Rawles’s volume will certainly become the scholarly reference for Janot, as well as a notable exemplar of descriptive bibliography for early printed books.”Diane Booton, Université Rennes 2. In: French Studies, Vol. 73, No. 2 (April 2019), pp. 286-287.“a useful tool in the research of Paris printing in the sixteenth century.”Frans A. Janssen, University of Amsterdam. In: Quaerendo, Vol. 48, No. 3 (2018), pp. 263-265.“a very thorough piece of work.”David Shaw. In: Publishing History, Vol. 79 (2019), pp. 125-127.“the crowning achievement of decades of meticulous research”.Shanti Graheli, University of Glasgow.
