## Contents
The section details the close relationship between Richard Field, a printer, and Thomas Vautrollier, a French Huguenot refugee and printer. It notes Vautrollier's independent views, which led to threats of prosecution for printing a "heretical book" by Giordano Bruno, causing him to temporarily relocate to Edinburgh (1584–1586) where he established a press under the patronage of James VI. During his absence, Vautrollier's London printing business was managed by his wife, Jacquenetta, with assistance from Field. Vautrollier resumed control of the business before his death in July 1587. The text also mentions the significant influence of Vautrollier's work, including North's translation of Plutarch's *Lives*, on Shakespeare.

was soon to be closely studied by Shakespeare, and was greatly to influence his work. Field’s relations with Vautrollier became very intimate. Vautrollier was a man of wide sympathies and independent views, which somewhat prejudiced his career in London. Threats of prosecution for printing a heretical book by the sceptic Giordano Bruno led him to retire temporarily (1584–6) to Edinburgh, where he established a press, and was patronized by the Scottish king, James VI. In his absence from England his printing business in London was carried on by his wife Jacquenetta with Field’s aid, but he resumed control of it before his death in July, 1587.
