BARBIER (JEAN), printer in London and Paris, began to print in London at St. Thomas Apostle about 1496, in company with I. H. { } and Julyan Notary { NOTARY, Julian ‹ LBT 30071 › }. Here they printed two books, a Questiones Alberti and a Sarum Horae, and in 1498 Barbier and Notary had moved to Westminster, where they printed a folio Sarum Missal for W. de Worde { WORDE, Wynkyn de ( - 1534) ‹ LBT 02699 › }. In 1502 he was at Paris in partnership with Pierre Levet and Francois Foucher at St. Germaindes-Prés. In 1510 he was at the Three Crowns in the Rue St. Jacques. He died in 1516. In 1504 he printed an edition of the Ortus Vocabulorum for Joyce Pelgrim, and about 1512 a Legenda Francisci for the Trinity booksellers. [Duff, Early printed books, pp. 143-4. Renouard, pp. 17-18.
