Robert Stephens
. The second son of Henry;
he was born at Paris in 1503. After his father’s
death he carried on the business with De
Colines, who married his mother. During
that connection, Robert published, in 1522, an
edition of the Greek Testament, which drew
upon him the enmity of the doctors of the
Sorbonne. He married the daughter of Badius,
the printer. In 1526 Stephens dissolved partnership
with De Colines, and set up a printing-offie
of his own. In 1539 he was appointed
king’s printer of Latin and Hebrew; but on
the death of his royal protector Robert removed
to Geneva, where he died in 1559.
