Galliot du Pré



Galliot du Pré (d. April 1560) was a Parisian bookseller and publisher.

In May 1514 the Royal Chancery of Louis XII granted du Pré the privilege of exclusive rights. This was confirmed in 1515 by Francis I.

Galliot du Pré's imprint device featured a ship with an angel blowing a trumpet, which issues the words "Vogue la Guallee" (or sometimes "la galee"). The ship is a galiot, likely serving as a visual pun based on du Pré's first name.
