Christophe Ballard (Christophe Ballard [fr]) (Paris, April 12, 1641 — Paris, May 28, 1715) was a Parisian printer, bookseller, and music publisher, from the family of publishers founded by Robert Ballard (1530–1588) in the mid-16th century. Christophe Ballard was the eldest son and only successor of Robert III Ballard and, like him, was the king's imprimeur ordinaire[1] active from 1673 until the end of his life.[2]

Around 1700, the printing house was at its highest point: he maintained four presses and employed nine helpers and two apprentices. Ballard still used antiquated movable type with diamond-shaped notes that were designed and cast for Robert Ballard and his son-in-law Adrien Le Roy (ca. 1520–1598) in the 1550s by Ballard’s father-in-law,[3] Guillaume Le Bé.[4] Pierre I Ballard directed the workshop on the Rue Saint-Jean de Beauvais from 1599 to 1639, followed from 1639 to 1673 by his son Robert III Ballard.[2] In 1713, Jean-Marie Leclair, François Couperin and other musicians obtained the privileges of printing music from engraved plates. Ballard brought the case to court, but lost: he was considered to have the exclusive right only to print music in movable type.

He published almost all the music of the time:

duodecimo books dated 1703, 1704, and 1711.[9]

Ballard's son,

L’Europe Galante[3] Upon his death, an inventory of the Ballard firm’s library was drawn up.[10]
