- Robert I Estienne (1503-1559), known as Robertus Stephanus in Latin and sometimes referred to as Robert Stephens, was a 16th-century printer in Paris. He was the proprietor of the Estienne print shop after the death of his father Henri Estienne, the founder of the Estienne printing firm. Estienne published and republished many classical texts as well as Greek and Latin translations of the Bible.
title page and last couple pages are missing; could be the first edition from 1546 (being Estienne's first Greek new testament).
"This 1546 edition is also known as the 'O mirifica' edition, from Estienne's preface beginning "O mirificam Regis nostri optimi & prestantissimi principis liberalitatem", in which the printer praises the King for commissioning Claude Garamond to create a new Greek font in order to produce volumes in small format. Robert Estienne based the text on a comparison of the Complutense and the Erasmian editions with sixteen manuscripts. This collation was made by Robert Estienne's own son, Henri."
