Editing Simon de Colines (section)

===Religious books and Parliament===
In addition to textbooks, Colines also published a few editions of scriptures and some devotional books. In 1522, Colines printed the four Gospels with commentary by Lefèvre d'Étaples called ''Commentarii initiatorii in quatuor Evangelia''. The book was not submitted to the Parisian Faculty of Theology for approval as had been decreed the previous November, and the theologians fined Colines on June 9, 1523, and threatened to seize the remaining copies. Colines argued that the printing had started in Meaux before the decree, and the theologians consented to let him keep his remaining copies as long as he did not sell them. In 1545, after Lefèvre's death, Parliament censored ''Commentarii''. In 1524, Colines printed Lefèvre's French translations of both the New Testament and the Psalms; however, Colines also published anti-Lutheran pamphlets (''Antilutherus''), much to [[Robert Estienne]]'s and Lefèvre's disapproval. Colines was careful to petition for approval from Parliament. In 1526, the theologians prohibited the sale and possession of French language scriptures.

In 1525 and 1527 Colines published [[Book of hours|Books of Hours]] with decorations by [[Geoffroy Tory]]. Both books together are called the Tory Books of Hours. Colines also published Books of Hours in the 1540s. Colines's miniature ''[[Vulgate]]'' was widely circulated and went through 50 editions. In 1541 Colines revised a Latin Bible folio with diacritical marks which contained a geographical index by Robert Estienne in Aramaic, Greek, and Latin. The volume, over 800 pages long, was a difficult printing job and published by Galliot du Pré and Lyonese Antoine Vincent.

Colines published a few more anti-Lutheran books in 1526. Colines printed several works by [[Josse van Clichtove]], including Clichtove's refutation to [[Johannes Oecolampadius]] (1527) and Clichtove's commentary (1529) on the decrees of the [[Councils of Sens]] in 1528. Colines also printed a book of polemical essays by [[Johann Eck]] in 1526.

Colines published many books by [[Erasmus]], often for schools. After Erasmus's ''Colloquia'' was censured, two secretly printed editions (1528 and 1532) bore Colines's typeface called ''Mignonne''. When Colines printed a New Testament with commentary by Erasmus in a single volume (''Testamentum Nouum per Des. Erasmum recognitum'') in 1533, he used a typeface even smaller than the ''Mignonne''. In 1542, French Parliament decreed that all books entering Paris should be examined, in order to make sure they contained no "Lutheran errors". The decree also stipulated that all books should contain the name and address of their printer. In 1544, Parliament published a list of censored books, and anyone still owning the books after three days could be incarcerated. The list included four books Colines had published. Colines published few new works after this decree.
