Subiaco Press
The Press was established in 1464 by the German monks Arnold Pannartz and Konrad Sweynheim in the Abbey of Santa Scolastica, Subiaco.Sweynheim had worked with Johannes Gutenberg, the inventor of the mechanical movable-type printing press.The first book printed at Subiaco was a work by 4th century writer Aelius Donatus; it has not been preserved.This was followed by Cicero's 1st century BC work De Oratore, printed at Subiaco in September 1465, a copy of which is preserved in the Buchgewerbehaus at Leipzig.These were used for the extensive quotations in Greek which employed mobile letters now called "Subiaco type".
