<div class="printer">Guillaume Le Rouge</div>
<div class="dates">Printer in Paris, 1493-1517</div>
<p>Imprimeur, succeeded his father Pierre Le Rouge from 1493</p>
<p>Worked in Chablis (1489), in Troyes (1491-1492), and then in Paris.
Noted for the introduction of the first italic type in Paris.
The <i>Inventaire chronologique</i> records no books with his name for 1515 and 1516.
Called ‘Rubeus’ in Latin.
Le Rouge seems to have worked particularly for the bookseller [[Denis Roce]].
[[Petrus de Ponte]] worked for Le Rouge as a corrector as well as an author.</p>
<p>Le Rouge is the earliest Parisian printer to use an italic type, though one with a rather unusual uppercase.</p>
