Abstract
The Lyon printing industry not only printed the first book in French, but introduced the illustrated book to France. The quantity of books published in Lyon during the Renaissance is lower only than that of books published in Paris, and differs from Parisian production by the importance given from the beginning to the role of the image. The production of illustrated books was characterised by the variety of literary genres, including religious works, scientific treatises, books of poetry, and works of classical literature.
