Anna Fabri
Anna Fabri, née ''Ghotan'' (floruit 1496), was a Swedish publisher and printer. She was the first female book printer in Sweden. She was likely the sister of book printer Bartholomeus Ghotan from Lübeck, who alongside Johann Snell became the first secular book printers in Sweden in 1483. She married printer Johann Fabri, who took over the business of Snell in 1487; she later took over his business as a widow in 1496. Among her work was ''Brevianse Strengenense'', ''Breviens Upsalea'' and some ''magistri impressorie artis'' are known.

Brackets
A bracket is either of two tall fore- or back-facing punctuation marks commonly used to isolate a segment of text or data from its surroundings. Typically deployed in symmetric pairs, an individual bracket may be identified as a 'left' or 'right' bracket or, alternatively, an "opening bracket" or "closing bracket", respectively, depending on the directionality of the context. Specific forms of the mark include parentheses (also called "rounded brackets"), square brackets, curly brackets (also called 'braces'), and angle brackets (also called 'chevrons'), as well as various less common pairs of symbols. As well as signifying the overall class of punctuation, the word "bracket" is commonly used to refer to a specific form of bracket, which varies from region to region. In most English-speaking countries, an unqualified word "bracket" refers to the parenthesis (round bracket); in the United States, the square bracket. Various forms of brackets are used in mathematics, with ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Anna Rügerin
Anna Rügerin (died after 1484), is considered to be the first female typographer to inscribe her name in the colophon of a book, in the 15th century. In 1484, Rügerin printed two books in the in-folio format, in a press she owned in the city of Augsburg (Germany). Her work appeared less than twenty years after the arrival of the movable-type printing press in that city. The first of Rügerin's known books is an edition of Eike of Repgow's compendium of customary law, the ''Sachsenspiegel The (; gml, Sassen Speyghel; modern nds, Sassenspegel; all literally "Saxon Mirror") is one of the most important law books and custumals compiled during the Holy Roman Empire.

Women In Publishing
A woman is an adult female human. Prior to adulthood, a female human is referred to as a girl (a female child or adolescent). The plural ''women'' is sometimes used in certain phrases such as "women's rights" to denote female humans regardless of age. Typically, women inherit a pair of X chromosomes, one from each parent, and are capable of pregnancy and giving birth from puberty until menopause. More generally, sex differentiation of the female fetus is governed by the lack of a present, or functioning, SRY-gene on either one of the respective sex chromosomes. Female anatomy is distinguished from male anatomy by the female reproductive system, which includes the ovaries, fallopian tubes, uterus, vagina, and vulva. A fully developed woman generally has a wider pelvis, broader hips, and larger breasts than an adult man. Women have significantly less facial and other body hair, have a higher body fat composition, and are on average shorter and less muscular than men. Throu ...

15th-century Swedish People
The 15th century was the century which spans the Julian dates from 1 January 1401 ( MCDI) to 31 December 1500 ( MD). In Europe, the 15th century includes parts of the Late Middle Ages, the Early Renaissance, and the early modern period. Many technological, social and cultural developments of the 15th century can in retrospect be seen as heralding the " European miracle" of the following centuries. The architectural perspective, and the modern fields which are known today as banking and accounting were founded in Italy. The Hundred Years' War ended with a decisive French victory over the English in the Battle of Castillon. Financial troubles in England following the conflict resulted in the Wars of the Roses, a series of dynastic wars for the throne of England. The conflicts ended with the defeat of Richard III by Henry VII at the Battle of Bosworth Field, establishing the Tudor dynasty in the later part of the century.

List Of Women Printers And Publishers Before 1800
The list of women printers and publishers before 1800 include women active as printers or publishers prior to the 19th century. Before the printing press was invented, books were made from pages written by scribes, and it could take up to a year or two for a book to be completed. Books were a luxury mainly for religious scholars and the upper class. Johannes Guttenberg invented the printing press around 1450, which allowed for mass production of books. Having books become more widely available meant that the masses had access to information that they might not get otherwise, but threatened the authority of the state. Some printers had their works censored and may have been jailed for disseminating information of which the state did not approve. Printing required setting type, which could be arduous, and running the press, which was heavy, as well as bookbinding. Although running the press was considered too physically difficult, many women were able to do all the jobs required to ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Johann Snell
Johann Snell (fl. 1482; died after 1519) was a German printer. He appears to have been born in Hannover and was in Rostock in 1475, where he apparently served his apprenticeship with the Brotherhood of St. Michael, and in Lübeck in 1480, where he was an independent printer and bookbinder. He may also have studied at the University of Rostock in 1481. In 1482 he was brought by Bishop Karl Rønnov to Odense to print a short prayer book (breviary), ''Breviarium Ottoniense''. At the same time, presumably for another ecclesiastical client such as the Knights of St. John, Snell printed ''De obsidione et bello Rhodiano'', an account of the Turkish siege of the island of Rhodes. These are the first two books printed in Denmark. While in Stockholm in 1483–84, he also produced the first book printed in Sweden, ''Dialogus creaturarum'', a richly illustrated volume dated 1483. He appears to have been brought to Sweden to print a missal A missal is a liturgical book containin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
