Notes

Known as Didot le jeune.

He was in charge of the firm's type foundry, designed the Didot font and invented stereotypes (plates cast from printing surfaces), which allowed the production of cheaper editions of French, Italian and English books. He later gave up publishing to become a politician, a playwright and an essayist.
