Summary
One of the most versatile men in the history of printing, Geoffroy Tory was a sixteenth century French engraver, publisher, author, orthographer, scholar, type designer, and printer. Unfortunately, he is known in most circles only for a series of magnificently ornate border engravings he designed for the "Book of Hours," a religious work printed by Simone de Colines in 1525. He is also somewhat known for writing the revolutionary book, "Champfleury," which discouraged French authors from using Greek and Latin in their works instead of French.
