Louis XI
Louis XI.
Printing was established at the Sorbonne in 1470. While some historical accounts note the press was installed in 1469 during the reign of Louis XI, the establishment of the first printing press in Paris on university premises is widely recognized as occurring in 1470, when the rector and librarian invited German printers to begin operations.123
