Johann Rynmann of Augsburg

Johann Rynmann of Augsburg

Johann Rynmann of Augsburg (d. 1522) is considered to be the first non-printing publisher. Unlike many of the publishers of his time, Rynmann would hire others to conduct the technical production of printed material, choosing instead to concentrate on the distribution and sale of work contracted to him. Reynmann published nearly 200 books but never printed one of them.
