Basel: Johann Amerbach
Johann Amerbach (c. 1430-1513) was born at Reutlingen in Germany. He studied at the Sorbonne under Johann Heynlin before working in Nuremberg as a press corrector for Anton Koberger. He established a press at Basel about 1481 (1478 has also been suggested), and became its leading printer, issuing some seventy works. He was the first Basel printer to use roman type. At various times, Amerbach was in partnership with Jacob von Pforzheim, Johann Petri, and Johann Froben, and he had continued his association with Anton Koberger at Nuremberg, who acted as his publisher, and with Rusch at Strassburg, to whom he appears to have lent type.
