1540-1617. Founder of the Dutch printing
house Elzevir in the the 17th century. Among
the firm's publications were editions of
Latin, Greek, and Hebrew works, as well as
French and Italian classics. Born at Louvain,
Elzevir was obliged to leave Belgium in 1580
because of his Protestant and political
views. He settled at Leyden as a bookseller
and printer.
