Vol. I Brit M. Cat. Printer of the 1483 Jordannus de Quedlinberg
Prior to the Sermons of Jordanus de Quadlinburg completed
in 1483 this anonymous printer appears to have printed several
books in types still retaining their original measurment of 99 mm
which were subsequently filed down to 91 mm. He was almost
certainly at work in 1482, perhaps in 1481.
Joannes Balbus Catholicaon (not after 1483) 411x288mm
larger capitals supplied in red + blue, smaller capitals in
red + blue alternately, paragraph marks, initial-strokes, +
underlines in red.
Georg Husner, who became a citizen of Strassburg by marriage
in 1470 put his name to one printed book in 1473, + to be
registered is the tractatus contra vicia completed 5 Dec 1498.
There was enough anonymous printing done at Strassburg
to keep several pressed busy + if Husner only signed 3
books at the beginning + 1 at the end of his career he
may during a long period have been active as a printer
without signing any at all.
