Arnout Coninx was a printer and bookseller in the city of Antwerp from 1579 until his death in 1617. Unlike many of his fellow citizens Coninx stayed in Antwerp after it had fallen to the Spanish forces in 1585. In the same year all Protestants were ordered to leave the city in the next four years or to convert to Catholicism. Coninx waited until 1590 to register his conversion to Catholicism.
Coininx printed classical works of authors such as Marcus Aurelius, humanistic literature from authors such as Erasmus, and works of his contemporary poets and scientists.
