Notes

Known as Didot l’aîné.

Pierre took over from his father François in 1789, four years after becoming a master-printer. His younger brother Pierre-Nicolas-Firmin published as Didot le jeune. In 1797 he was authorized to set up his presses in the Louvre, on the site of the former royal publishing house where he produced his famous deluxe, illustrated 'Louvre' editions of French classics, employing the artist David and his studio to provide over a hundred, engraved illustrations. In 1800 he was appointed official printer to the Senate, then the imperial Court, and, after 1815, to the King.

He translated Horace's Odes and Virgil's Georgics.
