Johann and Wendelin of Speyer
The brothers Johann and Wendelin of Speyer (also known as de Speier and by their Italian names of Giovanni and Vendelino da Spira) were German printers in Venice from 1468 to 1477.
They were among the first of those who came to Italy from Mainz, after 1462, to introduce printing. Knowledge of their lives is scanty. They came originally from Speyer. Early in 1460-61 Johann appears in Mainz as a goldsmith. In 1468, with his wife, children, and brother Wendelin, he set out for Italy, settling in Venice.
==First books==
The Venetian Senate extended a cordial welcome to Johann, and granted him a monopoly of printing for five years. His first book, Cicero's ''Epistolae ad familiares'', appeared in 1469. During the printing of Augustine's ''De Civitate Dei'' (1470) Johann died, and Wendelin completed it, assuming control of the business and carried it on until 1477. About 1472 he associated with him the German printer, Johann von Köln. Together they issued seven works. Before Johann died, four great works had been issued: two editions of Cicero; Pliny the Elder's Naturalis Historia; and one volume of Livy. The ''De Civitate Dei'' had been begun. Within seven months eight hundred volumes were printed.
