Georg Stuchs

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Georg Stuchs , also: Stüchs, Stöchs , († 1520 ) worked as a printer in Nuremberg at the end of the 15th and beginning of the 16th century. He was registered as a citizen of Nuremberg in 1484. The two sons Johann and Lorenz came from his first marriage and later continued his trade. His second marriage was to Magdalene Eschenloer. He died in 1520.

A first print by him is known from the year 1483, the last documented in 1517; the main focus of his printing activity was primarily in the religious area. A notable exception is the almost simultaneous publication of a High and Low German translation of the Italian anthology Paesi novamente retrovati (Vicenza, 1507) originally edited by Fracanzano da Montalboddo , in which numerous reports from discoverers are summarized. The High German translation with the title Newe unbekanthe landte goes back to the Nuremberg doctor Jobst Ruchamer , the Low German to Henning van Ghetelen .
