Haebler German plates #111 The brothers G+M Reysen may almost be considered as the
official printers of the Bishops of Wuerzburg + Eichstatt.
The 2 brothers learned the art of printing at Strassburg.
Besides thier official books for the Bishops, the 2 printers
brough out but little of importance. In the printing of liturgical
books the work they accomplished is remarkable indeed, both
in its quality + in quantity.* Their Antiphonarium is the
most considerable piece of music printing of the Incumabula
period + their Musicals + Brevieries can compete with those of all other printers.
-From 1479 G. Reysen was printing in Wuzburg, at 1st with
partners, then alone. He printed almost solely lithurgical
works + those published before 1491 had copper engravings
*The spiscopal letters prefixed to the liturgical books printed by the 2
brothers show how very closely they were connected with their high
employers.
-Of the manuscript produced in the 13th C, psalterm
took 2nd place only to complete Biblem.
From 1493 he used moderate which Wolgamutt designed + which
Were cut in Nuremberg.
