Il s’agit de deux spheres volontiers separees, avec en arriere-plan, des a priori d’incompatibilite, voire des aversions traditionnelles qui n’ont pas epargne l’historiographie.

They were enterprising businessmen and women who ran the most important printing office in Spain during the first half of the sixteenth century, a period when Seville was the principal centre for book production and distribution in the Iberian Peninsula. This was before the centre of gravity of Spanish printing shifted to Salamanca and of the trade to Medina del Campo. This article records and describes twenty extremely rare Seville editions printed, or possibly printed, by the Cromberger press and nowadays conserved in a wide variety of collections spanning two continents. The books described testify to the diversity of the Crombergers’ production (primarily of religious works, but also of practical manuals, books of entertainment, etc.); such diversity tells us much about the state of the printing industry in sixteenth-century Spain and the strategies used by leading and innovative printers there to stimulate and satisfy demand. It transpires from the study of the editions described in this article that when the press was in the hands of Brígida Maldonado, who had married into the Cromberger dynasty, it was particularly active and entrepreneurial.

Typographical analysis suggests that the edition was in fact the earliest known product of the press which Estacio Carpintero was setting in that year at Seville. Drawing upon archival material as well as the results of bibliographical analysis, Griffin speculates upon the reasons why the Cromberger firm, at that time under the stewardship of Brígida Maldonado, the resourceful widow of the famous printer Juan Cromberger, might have chosen to outsource [KEY WORD: outsourcing] to a jobbing printer the production of this popular compilation that would eventually be banned by the Spanish Inquisition. The article illustrates how wary ambitious synthesising undertakings like the Iberian Book Project should be of taking at face value information contained in bibliographies as well as in the colophons of early printed books.

Born at Rheindiebach on the banks of the Rhine, he vividly recalled witnessing, when a child, the collapse of the German army. As an undergraduate he studied at the Johannes Gutenberg-Universität in Mainz, the Universidad de Barcelona and the Università di Pisa; he completed his Mainz doctorate in 1964 with a thesis on Lope de Vega’s theatre.1 He had given classes at the Instituto Alemán in Madrid while carrying out research for this thesis, and he settled in Spain, teaching at the Universidad de Sevilla from 1964 until he retired shortly before his death. For over twenty years he was that university’s German lektor employed on an annual contract. When the Spanish authorities failed to recognize notoriously demanding German doctorates, he simply researched and wrote another, this time on the Seville press of Martín de Montesdoca. In its published version, it would become the yardstick against which all subsequent studies of early Spanish printers are judged.2 This precarious existence ended only in 1984 when his international scholarly reputation was eventually acknowledged, and he was made a permanent member of the Facultad de Filología. He was an erudite, humane and engaging teacher who lectured on a wide range of medieval and Golden-Age Spanish literature, encouraging many of his Seville pupils to undertake research, particularly in one of his principal interests: the history of the book, in the modern study of which he was a pioneer in Spain. Klaus Wagner was the ideal supervisor and colleague: generous with his vast storehouse of knowledge, inspirational in his enthusiasm, and—with his modesty, wit, and gift for friendship—the best of company. He was an indefatigable worker. His many publications were the result of years of patient research in Spanish archives and collections of early printed books during which he laid the groundwork on which he would later draw so
