Overzicht

Marten de Keyser, of Lempereur, of Caesar (ca. 1500–1536) is een Fransman, getrouwd met Françoise Le Rouge, dochter van de drukker Guillaume Le Rouge. De Keyser heeft in de drukkerij van zijn schoonvader in Parijs gewerkt, vooraleer zich in Antwerpen als drukker, stempelsnijder en stempelgieter te vestigen. Van 1525 tot 1536 geeft hij voor eigen rekening of voor collega’s meer dan tweehonderd werken uit van godsdienstige en geleerde aard, grotendeels in het Frans en het Latijn. Hij drukte Lutherse teksten en Engelse hervormde geschriften; toch is hij nooit door de Inquisitie lastig gevallen, misschien wel dankzij de verschillende schijnadressen waarvan hij zich bediende.

Abstract

Marten de Keyser, or Lempereur or Caesar (c. 1500–1536), was a Frenchman married to Françoise Le Rouge, daughter of the printer Guillaume Le Rouge. He worked in his father-in-law’s printing-shop in Paris before establishing himself at Antwerp as a printer, engraver and type-founder. An extremely productive printer, he produced over two hundred religious and erudite works for his own account or for colleagues. Most of these were in French or Latin. He printed texts by Luther and the English reformers, but seems to have had hardly any trouble from the Inquisition due, perhaps, to the various fictitious addresses of which he availed himself.
