Vigot, Paul (sold)
Paul Vigot (1864 - 1937) was a French publisher. After having worked at the publishers Flammarion, J.-B. Baillère and Félix Alcan, he founded the Librairie Paul Vigot in 1890, later renamed Librairie Vigot frères, specializing in medical publications, including translation of medical texts in English. In 1900, they relocated to the rue de l'École-de-Médecine in Paris. After Paul Vigot's death, the firm passed on to his sons, and eventually to his grandchildren in 1971. In 1987, the firm was bought by Quillet, a subsidiary of Matra, but continues to operate under its own name and under the leadership of the descendants of Paul Vigot.
