LECOMTE (NICHOLAS), stationer in London, was a Frenchman and a member of the University of Paris. Madden [Lettres d'un Bibliographe, V, p. 252] gives 1493 as the first date at which his name is found in a book, but this is most probably incorrect and should rather be 1494 in which year on November 23rd he issued an edition of the Synonyma of Garlandia printed for him at Paris by Wolfgang Hopyl. His next book, dated February 26th, 1495, was an edition of Mirk's Liber Festivalis also printed by Hopyl. The third and last book was an edition of the Sarum Horae, printed at Paris in 1498 by Jean Jehannot. In the colophon Lecomte is spoken of as a member of the University of Paris and a merchant of books living for the time in England. The colophon of the Synonyma gives his address in St. Paul's Churchyard at the sign of St. Nicholas. Lecomte's device which occurs in all three books represents St. Nicholas restoring to life the three children in a tub and has also a shield containing his initials and mark. Round the whole runs the legend In domino confido . M. Nicholas Leconte. Beyond his appearance in England from 1494 to 1498 nothing is known of him. He was also apparently a bookbinder for the initials N.C. and a mark almost exactly identical with that found on his device occurs on a panel stamp [U.L.C.] ornamented with animals and flowersenc1osed within the curves of a branch, while round all is a border of foliage.
