Éditions Pigouchet is an academic publishing imprint based in Paris, dedicated to the publication of advanced research in philology, literature and poetry, manuscript studies, art history, and the culture of the book. Taking its name from the Parisian printer Philippe Pigouchet (active 1488–1518), the press aligns itself with a tradition of scholarship rooted in the material and intellectual history of texts.
In April 2026, Éditions Pigouchet acquired Alta Formazione Editrice and its catalogue, incorporating a body of work developed within a network of university scholars committed to rigorous research and critical inquiry. This integration marks the transition from a primarily Italian-language publishing initiative to an international editorial framework.
Founded in connection with the Associazione Internazionale per l’Alta Formazione (AIAF), Alta Formazione Editrice has contributed to the dissemination of scholarly work across disciplines, with particular attention to the role of literature, art, and culture in contemporary society. Its editorial programme—encompassing monographs, essays, and research-based publications—has been defined by a commitment to intellectual independence and the circulation of knowledge without recourse to author-funded models.
Éditions Pigouchet extends and consolidates this orientation within a broader European and international context. The press collaborates with academic institutions and research networks, including ISFiDa (Institut d’Estudis Filològics Dantescs i Digitals Avançats) and OProM (Organisation pour la Protection des Manuscrits Médiévaux), contributing to ongoing work in manuscript studies, digital reconstruction, and the preservation of cultural heritage.
Committed to high editorial standards, Éditions Pigouchet seeks to support work that combines methodological rigour with critical depth, addressing both specialised scholarship and the wider intellectual landscape of the humanities.
