Johannes de Bel
Johannes de Bel , also de Bell (* in 's-Hertogenbosch ; † after 1485 , probably in Cologne ) was a German incunabula printer .
Life
Johannes de Bell is probably identical to that Johannes de Bell from 's-Hertogenbosch (Latin Buscoducis ), who was matriculated on April 30, 1466 at the University of Cologne . In 1467 he graduated as a Baccalaureus , in 1469 as a licentiate and on December 11, 1472 at the Thomistic Montana- Burse as a Magister artium .
He appeared as a freelance printer only for a short period between 1481 and 1482 and again with others in 1484/85. His first print, a diurnale with times of day according to the Cologne custom, is dated May 21, 1481. In two of his prints he describes himself as Incola civitatis , residents of the city (Cologne) .
He used a characteristic small breviary - Type . In one of his prints he uses a type by Johann Koelhoff the Elder . It can be assumed that Johannes de Bel acquired this from Koelhoff.
