![Lyons. Jacques Arnollet: a.p. 1492-1500 (-1504). Jacques Arnollet, called Jacques Sacon, was born in Bourges. From 1492 Arnollet was in partnership, save during very short intervals, with Claude Dayne, of Salins. They printed both together and separately; no book bearing either of their names is known before 1495, but several works previous to that date may be safely assigned to them. The name of Claude Dayne does not appear in any book after April, 1498. The same printing material was used by both Arnollet and Dayne. Certain of their types closely resemble those of Jean de Vingle, Jean du Pré, and Denis Meslier. They had a good variety of types; gothic, usually small, some bétarde types in the Paris style, a lettre de forme of great beauty, and also a fount of lettre de somme. Arnollet used on his title-pages some great fantastic calligraphical initials adorned with grotesques; these were very much in the style of Vérard, but similar ones are found at Rouen. The illustrations of Arnollet’s productions were often very fine, e.g., the woodcuts of the Vzgdlles, apparently done by the artist of Trechsel’s Terence. Floreated borders were also used to great advantage; these, like the illustrations, were less rigid and more finished than those usually issued by German printers in Lyons. Device: Two rams on their hind legs supporting a shield bearing Arnollet’s monogram. Above, a scroll with his name.
