Carolus Stephanus (Charles Estienne), Paris, 1504 - Paris, 1564), was the younger brother of Robert Estienne. Charles took over the printing house in Paris after Robert fled to Geneva following the censorship measures against his Bible editions by the Sorbonne. Charles has been called the 'enfant terrible de la famille Estienne' (Bénédicte Boudou) as well as 'the most versatile member of the French humanist dynasty of printers' (Hélène Cazes). He was an important anatomist (he was the first to describe the canal in the spinal cord), travel writer, lexicographer, editor of classical works both in Latin and Greek, and an innovative publisher of short multilingual compilations for young students. Charles held the title of royal typographer, but he lost the privilege for Greek typography and had to hand over the renowned Greek type produced by Garamond to Adrianus Turnebus. Charles was slow to let go of the Greek type, which years later led to the false accusation by king Louis XIII that Robert stole the king's Greeks and smuggled them to Geneva. Due to mounting debts, a common consequence of the 'privilege' of being royal typographer, Charles was sent to the Châtelet prison in 1561, where he died in 1564. This edition of Cicero closely follows the 1543-1544 edition by his brother Robert and is enriched with very detailed indices, lists of variants and errata and contains passages in Greek.
