A specialist in the history of early modern printing, Gilmont (philosophy and humanities, Catholic U. of Louvain) explores the interaction of the Swiss Protestant leader with books. He discusses the authors Calvin read, the works he wrote, and his relationship with the printing and publishing world of the 16th century. Jean Calvin et le livre imprime was published in 1997 by Librairie Droz SA in Geneva. This is the second of his books that Maag (Calvin College, Michigan) has translated.
