Submission declined on 12 March 2024 by Randompersonediting (talk). This submission's references do not show that the subject qualifies for a Wikipedia article—that is, they do not show significant coverage (not just passing mentions) about the subject in published, reliable, secondary sources that are independent of the subject (see the guidelines on the notability of people). Before any resubmission, additional references meeting these criteria should be added (see technical help and learn about mistakes to avoid when addressing this issue). If no additional references exist, the subject is not suitable for Wikipedia.

Christophe Ballard (French: [kʁistɔf balaʁ]; April 12, 1641 — May 28, 1715) was a Parisian printer, bookseller, and music publisher employed by Louis XIV, 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: Jean-Baptiste Lully's tragedies lyriques, André Campra's operas, André Cardinal Destouches, Henri Desmarets. There is also Couperin, Jean-Philippe Rameau,[5] works by Collasse, Jean-François Dandrieu, Marin Marais, Marc-Antoine Charpentier, Jacques-Martin Hotteterre, Michel Richard Delalande, Nicolas Lebègue and Montéclair, in addition to Recueils d’airs sérieux et à boire[6] published monthly from 1695 to 1724[7]. Ballard also printed Italian songs in a series of Recueils des meilleurs airs italiens from 1699 to 1708[8], and Brunettes in three duodecimo books dated 1703, 1704, and 1711.[9]
Ballard's son, Jean-Baptiste Christophe Ballard (who had been running the printing press with Ballard since 1698) succeeded him from 1715 until his death in 1750. During this period, he printed many important works, such as a full score of Campra’s L’Europe Galante[3] Upon his death, an inventory of the Ballard firm’s library was drawn up.[10] Ballard was also the grandfather of La veuve Boivin.
