  Estienne - LoveToKnow 1911
ESTIENNE (or Etienne; the French form of the name; anglicized to Stephens, and latinized to Stephanus), a French family of scholars and printers.
In 1539 Robert was appointed king's printer for Hebrew and Latin, an office to which, after the death of Conrad Neobar in 1540, he united that of king's printer for Greek.
Robert also printed numerous editions of Latin classics, of which perhaps the folio Virgil of 1532 is the most noteworthy, and a large quantity of Latin grammars and other educational works, many of which were written by Maturin Cordier, his friend and co-worker in the cause of humanism.

 Robert Estienne
Robert Estienne, also known as Robert Stephens or Stephanus, was a 16th century printer in Paris.
In 1539 he received the distinguishing title of "Printer in Greek to the king." But the official recognition and the crown's approval to his undertaking could not save him from the censure and ceaseless opposition of the divines, and in 1550, to escape the violence of his persecutors, he emigrated to Geneva.
With his title of "royal typographer" Robert made the Paris establishment famous by his numerous editions of grammatical works and other school-books (among them many of Melanchthon's), and of old authors, as Dio Cassius, Eusebius of Caesarea, Cicero, Sallust, Caesar, and Justin.

The first was the father of Robert Estienne, and the second was the son.
Henry, the second, the eldest son of the great Robert, and without doubt the most distinguished member of the family, was born in Paris, 1528, and died at Lyons March, 1598.
The high standard that had been established by the early Stephens was maintained to the last, and the publications of the later publishers were mainly in the division of Greek and Roman classics.

 Robert Estienne Summary
Born to a family of printers, Robert Estienne made his mark not only by printing the first editions of many Greek and Roman works but by using the distinct symbol of the olive tree to represent his enterprises.
Estienne paid special attention to the quality of his printing, not only by using the olive tree insignia designed by Proofreader Geogroy Tory but with types designed by Claude Garamond specifically for the printing house.
Robert's son, named for Henri Estienne, eventually inherited his father's press under the condition that it would not be moved from Geneva.

 Bibliography of Textual Criticism "E"
The text of the fourth and fifth edition (1527, 1535) was closely followed by Robert Estienne in his influential third edition (1550), which in turn provided the basis for all editions later published by Beza (1565-98), subsequently followed by the translators of the King James version.
Although Estienne professed to have collated them himself, it is now known that this was done by his son Henry, who in his collation (which is very defective) indicated them separately by various letters of the Greek alphabet which he had assigned to them.
The text of Estienne's third and fourth edition (1550, 1551) was used by William Whittingham and his colleagues as the basis for the English version of the New Testament included in the Geneva Bible, which was the most widely used English translation prior to the appearance of the King James version (1611).

This was a highly important edition of the comedies of Plautus which was instrumental in the forming of Estienne's highly influential THESAURUS "in which Estienne had virtually founded modern Latin lexicography" (thus replacing the outdated work of Calepinus).
Estienne had failed to persuade any suitable scholar to compile a new Latin dictionary and so prepared for this work by reading and making exhaustive notes on the whole of Terence and Plautus; these notes were then written out and put in alphabetical order to form the basis of the new work.

The span of Robert Estienne's life (1503 - 1559) encompassed the historical epochs and events which shaped his career: the Renaissance, the Reformation, and the invention of printing by movable type.

Members of the Estienne family, in particular Henri the Elder, Robert, and Henri the Younger, were among the most brilliant of these.
So important was the authority of this text that a later scholar called Estienne the "Protestant Pope." This version of the Greek New Testament is often referred to as the "received text" (textus receptus), which means that it established a standard so authoritative that subsequent editors need to record deviations from it.
As of 1539, Robert Estienne called himself the "Typographus Regius," the royal printer, an office he held under King Henri II.

That is why, he suggested that sometimes the first one or two verses of the following chapter should have been at the end of the previous one, as the horse jumped a bit as Robert Estienne put his separated pencil mark on the flowing text.
The divisions made by Hugo with the letters of the alphabet, and those adopted by Pagninus in his Latin Bible of 1528, were inconveniently large, and Robert Estienne (better known to us as Stephens) introduced a system of numbered verse divisions in his Greek New Testament published at Geneva in 1551.

More specifically, she has spent the last decade in the company of a French humanist family : the Estiennes, who were remarkable printers and editors as of the beginning of the XVIth century.
In so doing, she was brought to study history of medicine (particularly, of the human anatomy), history of rhetorics and, more significantly, history of family and familial relationships.
Last, but not least, she is not tired of working on Henri Estienne and is preparing two annotated translations of his Latin and Greek poems (to be published by Les Belles Lettres and by Jean-Michel Place in Paris).
