Robert Estienne, 1503-1559, the second son of Henri Estienne, the founder of the family. This edition of 1543 is actually the
third edition. The first was published in 1531 and the second in 1536. Estienne described this as the Editio Secunda “sans doute
pour faire entendre que la première n’etoit à ses yeux qu’une ébauche, et devoit désormais être considerée comme non avenue.”--Renouard.
