The printer Anton Koberger (1440-1513) owned one of the largest publishing houses in Europe. Though Koberger began printing books in Nuremberg around 1470, by 1500 he had already produced some 250 titles (some of them with print runs in the thousands). Koberger prided himself on both the quantity and quality of his works, so his printing presses (he had room for up to 18) and the more than 100 typesetters, printers, and assistants he employed must have stayed very busy. Although responsible for initiating many of his own publishing projects, for the Nuremberg Chronicle Koberger was merely working under contract.
