Guillaume Fichet (French: [fiʃɛ]; 21 September 1433 – c. 1480) was a French scholar, who cooperated with Johann Heynlin to establish the first printing press in France (Paris) in 1470.[1] According to his own account as mentioned in his Rhetorica, he taught liberal arts, scriptures and rhetoric since the mid 1450s.[2] They brought from Basel three printers:[2] Michael Friburger, Ulrich Gering and Martin Crantz.[1] The first book printed was the Epistolae ("Letters") of Gasparinus Pergamensis (1470).This biographical article about a French academic is a stub.
