Jean Tixier de Ravisi (c. 1470–1542) was a French Renaissance humanist scholar and professor of rhetoric. He was born in Ravisi, which is near the commune of Saint-Saulge in the central province of Nivernais.[1] His works, which are mostly on the topic of education, were widely accepted and employed by French academia. Tixier eventually adopted the Latinised nameJohannes Textor Ravisius, Nivernensis.[2]
Per the epitaph on his headstone, Tixier was born in 1470, and died on 3 December 1542. According to Victor Gueneau, other scholars pretend that he died on 13 December 1524, and that his brother, Jacques, completed Jean's book l'Origine de l'imprimerie ("The Origin of Printing"). Similarly, some authors report his year of birth to be approximately 1480.[2]
More than thirty editions of his principal work, Officina, were published as he continued to expand it.[citation needed] His other writings were published posthumously.[citation needed]
