Philippi (Pistoris) and Reinhart were German
partners who constitute the 2nd Lyonese
press. In partnership they are believed
to have printed their 1st book (Fernarus
Practica nova juris) in 1477 and remained
active until 1482 at which point in appears
Reinhart severed his connection with the shop
(he was printing at Kirchein in Alsace in
1490)

Philippi and Reinhard appear to have issued the
earliest Lyon ed. of the Golden Legend (Legenda
Aurea, about 1480, CI. iii 124-30, Fairfax
Murray, Davies 589)

One of the "Fontibus ex Graecos Hebraeorum"
editions derived from the Bibles printed by
J. Amerbach at Basel in 1479, 1481 and 1482.

Lyons proved to be a good market for printed
books and before the end of the 15th C more
than 160 printers had worked there, among
whom Germans were predominant to such
an extent that printers as a class became
known in the city as "les allemands."
