4. History of Elsevier The use of the word “Elzevir” as a noun describing a “pocket-book” sized collector’s edition of the classics became quite commonplace in the educated parlance of the late nineteenth century. Above, “Le Patissier François,” printed in 1655 by Louis and Daniel Elzevir Given that 2005 marks the 125th birthday of Elsevier and the 425th anniversary of the publishing house of Elzevir from which the modern company takes its name, the time seems right to redress that imbalance and reflect on the myriad ways in which Elsevier has played a role in the history of science over the last 125 years. 4
