  K Book - Elzevier Feature   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
The Dutch family of Elzevier (also seen as Elzevir and Elsevier) were the foremost printers of their time, both because of the variety and the number of books which they produced.
According to Willems, the definitive biographer of the Elzevier dynasty, the date of the last publication was 1770.
The attractions of collecting Elzeviers are numerous - they are delightful volumes, there are a lot of them - over 2000 titles, they cover many subjects, they are uncommon, and yet it is still possible to purchase these books - over 300 years old - for between £75 and £200.

 Elzevier in Central London
Subsequently, the large family of Elzeviers ran major offices in Leiden (Abraham [I] and Bonaventura, later: Johannes and Daniel) and Amsterdam (Lodewijk [III] and Daniel), whilst the houses in Utrecht and The Hague (Lodewijk [II]) were of less importance.
The Elzevier output consists of a wide range of works in theology, philosophy and politics, law and medicine, French plays and belles lettres, not to mention a set of outstanding dictionaries or the overwhelming number of dissertations and disputations that were produced within the various faculties of Leiden University.
As a consequence, excellent Elzevier holdings are to be found in, for example, the Bodleian Library in Oxford and the National Library of Scotland in Edinburgh.

The first edition with critical apparatus (variant readings in manuscripts) was produced by the printer Robert Estienne of Paris in 1550.
The type of text printed in this edition and in those of Erasmus became known as the Textus Receptus (Latin for "received text"), a name given to it in the Elzevier edition of 1633, which termed it the text nunc ab omnibus receptum ("now received by all").
