The four hundredth anniversary of
the birth of Christophe Plantin, the
noted French printer of the sixteenth
century, will be COMMUNICATED with
appropriate ceremonies In Antwerp
during August. Plantin was 4 son Of
Belgium only through adoption. He
was born somewhere in historic
Touraine.
1t was the peculiar achievement of
Plantin to bring honor and glory to
the printers trade in the days of it's
infancy. With a keen appreciation
of the beauties of literature, Plantin
delighted in perfecting his workman,
ship in order that these beauties
might be published in the most at
tractive form possible. although his
tools we're those of a common work
man. His chef-d'oeuvre was the IA
nous Biblia neutrality-suspicious. in
1569-1573-an attempt at a scientific
revision of the text of the Old and
New Testaments. 1t vas published in
the Greek, Hebrew, Syrian and Chal-

from King Philip Of Spain the title
"prototypographus regius,' and the
right to print all the liturgical books
