He was a printer active in the city of Cologne, having graduating from the university there. He discovered his craft under Ulrich Zell. He printed books from 1470 to 1482 when the plague brought him off. Was he just another printer of the period? No, he drew out the very first edition of the 'Fasciculus temporum" (The most popular work by a living author at that time.) And he was the very first to use both a title page and page numbers. His page numbers, a concept probably suggested to him by Werner Rolevinck, were intriguing in that they were centered half way down the page on the external margin and were embeded in Roman Characters.
