Friedrich Misch
Friedrich Misch (* in Giengen an der Brenz ) was a Heidelberg book printer in the 15th century. Also called Fridericus Heidelbergensis .
Life
There are few and contradicting information about the life of Friedrich Misch. The only certain date is October 10, 1483, when he was registered in the register of the University of Heidelberg . He is said to have operated the first printing press in Heidelberg in 1485. The first documented print dates from 1488 ( Questiones veteris artis by Johannes de Magistris ). Paulus Lescher's Rhetorica appeared without specifying the place of printing; but the Fridericus Heidelbergensis named as printer is Friedrich Misch, as is clear from the types. He was one of the few academically trained printers of the 15th century.

Individual evidence
- ^ Karl Falkenstein: History of book printing in its development and training. A memorial for the 4th Säcular celebration of the invention of typography . BG Teubner, Leipzig 1840, p. 195: on the contrary, based on the comparison of types, it can be assumed with certainty that not he, but Heinrich Knoblochtzer, was the printer of the oldest Heidelberg incunabula (the sermons of Hugo de Prato florido, Hain 9009).
