Arnout Coninx

Arnout Coninx (1548–1617) was a printer and bookseller in the city of Antwerp from 1579 until his death in 1617. In 1586 he was fined for unlicensed printing, and in 1591 he was investigated for selling forbidden books. When the city of Antwerp had been reconquered for Philip II of Spain in 1585, Protestants had been given four years to settle their affairs and leave or be reconciled to the Catholic Church. Coninx waited until 1590, after the deadline had passed, to register his conversion to Catholicism.
