Jean Malo Renault

Jean Malo-Renault (1900–1988) was a French engraver and librarian.

Malo-Renault was born in Paris on 9 June 1900 into a family originating from St Malo and died at Rennes on 9 August 1988. He was the son of the artist Émile Auguste Renault known as Malo-Renault and his wife Honorine Tian. He is known as the author of a vast retrospective bibliography of Brittany for which he analysed printed sources and periodicals from the period 1480 to 1960, which is preserved in the bibliothèque municipale de Rennes and available on microfiche since 1988. Jean Malo-Renault collected a copious iconographic documentation towards a thesis on the religious architecture of Brittany. More broadly he was interested in Breton costume and popular arts.
