Notes

Gerard Leeu [1445-1492] was a Dutch printer born in Gouda and operated two small presses there until 1484 when he relocated his workshop to Antwerp. Documents indicate that he was a master printer within the prominent Guild of St. Luke in 1485. Leeu was mortally wounded in 1492 during an accident while printing Cronycks of the Londe of England; his apprentices published the book the next year with a tribute to their master in the colophon.
