Jean-Baptiste Étienne Repos (1803–1872) was a French publisher who specialised in works on liturgy, religion and history.
The son of a bookbinder from Avignon, Repos was licensed as a printer in Digne on 27 December 1837.
[1] In 1857 he set up shop in Paris as a liturgical publisher and bookseller, selling his printing equipment in Digne to Augustin-André Vial, who shipped it to Algeria.
[1] He published Le Plain-chant (1860) and Revue de musique sacrée ancienne et moderne (1861–1870),[1] as well as a series of decrees of the Sacred Congregations.
From 1864 until the end of his life he published Honoré Fisquet's La France pontificale (Gallia Christiana) which gave a systematic biographical overview, by ecclesiastical province, of all the French bishops and archbishops.
