Joannes Maire (or Jean Maire, Jan Maire, Johannes Le Maire or Joannis Maire) is from Valenciennes according to the notice of the Bnf. He is the son of the bookseller Antoine (Anthoni) Mayor active in Leiden. Protestant he settled in Leiden in 1584. Joannes Maire married in 1602 and became a citizen of the United Provinces in 1606. He also had a bookstore in Frankfurt.In particular, he published (among the 527 titles that came out of his press!) Erasme, Hugo Grotius, Juste Lipse in Latin, but also Descartes and his Discourse on Method, in French in 1637. Maire's typographical mark shows a man (a plowman) digging the earth with a spade (to uncover or plant) with the motto “Fac et spera” (done and hoped). A wreath with a laurel branch (on the left) and another branch on the right (unidentified), all tied together, surround the plowman. The laurel could mean here the symbol of eternity (always green in winter). Two other brands are listed: Breugelmans Ronald, Fac et spera: Johannes Maire, publisher, printer and bookseller in Leiden 1603-1657: a bibliography of his publications.“During the seventeenth century, Holland’s Golden Age, printing and publishing became a flourishing industry. In Leiden, where the presence of a university contributed to that success, Joannes Maire built up, in the course of more than fifty years, a list of at least 527 titles, especially in the fields of medicine, theology and classical philology. Although he is nowadays chiefly remembered as the original publisher of René Descartes's Discours de la methode (1637), his contemporaries knew him better from his numerous editions of works of Desiderius Erasmus. Mayor's cooperation in his earlier years as a publisher with the Raphelengii and Thomas Erpenius, professor of Oriental languages in Leiden, and the availability of his books at the fairs of Frankfurt and Leipzig spread his name rapidly in academic circles. It is the first one to pay attention to a single Leiden printer / publisher on such a large scale. Extensive bibliographical descriptions of Maire's books form the greater part of this publication and the inclusion of their title-pages on a CD-ROM is a novelty too. An introduction, giving substantial information on Maire and his authors and on other aspects of his list, such as the phenomenon of ‘parallel editions’, supplies valuable further information on the working methods of a printer of that period. The inventory of Maire’s estate proved to be an important source for his contacts with his colleagues, among them the Officina Plantiniana in Antwerp.
