Dinckmut -regular actualy as a printer seems to have
begun about 1482, in which year he printed at least 4
books. Dinckmut's out put become s smaller at the
and of the 80's, but he was still printing in 1496
He left Ulm in 1499
same work printed by J. Schonopuger - 1489 Hain. 7374

Haebler Ulm- owing doubtless to a commiercial crisis in the 70's +
continued plague in the following decade its typographical
history is a rather gloomy one as Zainer, Dinckmut,
Holle + Reger all of whom started doing very good press
work seem in every case to have lost their capital
+ been obligated to give up their presses, so that by
the beginning of the 16th C printing in Ulm had
almost entirely ceased.
Dinckmut- it may be supposed that at first he was an
assistant of J. Zainer. His independence as a printer
began in 1482 + till 1496 we find him carrying on his
business; we know that he was a book binder also.
His types show the unmistakable influence of the
Augsburg presses.
