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.
