Bernhard Jobin - also Bernhart Jobin - (* before 1545; † 1593 ) was a German printer and publisher . It possibly comes from Porrentruy in the Swiss canton of Jura and acquired in 1560 as a trimmer and a member of Buchdrucker- guild the Strasbourg citizenship. His first prints appeared in 1566. Jobin's printer's signet shows a bust of an imperator with the inscription Sapientia constans . In 1567 he married Anna Fischart, Johann Fischart's sister , whose works he published almost completely from 1570 onwards. Jobin had the decorations on the frontispiece mostly made by Tobias Stimmer and, towards the end of the 1570s, by Christoph Murer . Jobin easily added to his print products as incorrectly recognizable print locations and often used pseudonyms .

He published important works of boisterousism , including the first German translations by French and Dutch authors, sacred song collections, lute tablatures (1573), legal, historical and medical works. Among the authors are Paracelsus , Nikolaus Reusner , Arnaldus de Villanova , Nicodemus Frischlin , Georg Marius and François Rabelais . In addition to Fischart's works, Jobin also published Tobias Stimmer's Artful Figures of Biblical Histories (1579) and Bernhard Hertzog's Chronicon Alsatiae (1592). Countless single-sheet prints, leaflets and woodcuts can be attributed to Jobin.

After his death in 1593 (probably in Strasbourg), his heirs took over the printing company, then his son Tobias Jobin alone. In 1604 this became the property of Johann Carolus .
