Frobenius

Chambers's Encyclopaedia, Volume 5: Friday to Humanitarians, p. 11

Frobenius, JOANNES, the learned printer, was born in Franconia in 1460, founded a printing-office at Basel in 1491, and published a Latin Bible, editions of Cyprian, Tertullian, Hilary, Ambrose, and the Greek New Testament (1496). As correctors to the press he employed such men as Ecolampadius and Erasmus; and between 1491 and 1527, the year of his death, he issued 300 works (including all those of Erasmus), well printed and wonderfully free of error.
