Conrad Fyner was born in the little place Geahaven in
Wuettenberg and was printing in Esslingen from 1472.
Of his life, little is known, except that towards the end
of the 90's he left Esslingen - printed for sometime
in Urach and perhaps Stuttgaut. During the time he was
in Esslingen, Fyner produced almost all his books
in one Type only.
