1st printer
of
Vicenza
Leonardus (Achatis) de Basilea 3rd press
(1st, Padua 1472&3) - having worked at Saint' Orso (2nd press)
in the earlier part of 1474, Leonardus removed to
Vicenza in time to complete there an Uberti
Oittamondo by Nov. of the same year. Dated books,
some 25 in number altogether, are found in 1474 - 6,
1479 -82, 1489-91 & 1497. Jacobus de Dusa was
his partner in 1482 & Guilielmus de Papia in
June & Oct. 1491. Burger records 34 works printed by him,
among them Petrarca's Canzoniere.
Text & arrangement identical to Schoeffer's ed (1484), but of
course without German names of plants; the figures are
more austere in style & differ in many cases - probably in
line - an Italian model.
There are only 2 books known , printed jointly by Leonardus
A chates & G. de Papia
