Giovanni Angelo Scinzenzeler was a printer in Milan from 1477 to 1526. He published more than 200 books. [1]
Scinzenzeler began his career under the apprenticeship of his father, Ulrich Scinzenzeler. Giovanni has been described as "the most prolific of the Milanese printers in the early 1500s". [2]
He often printed on commission for the Milanese publishing house Ioannes Iacobus de Legnano et fratres. They used a printer's mark comprising an angel holding a disc bearing the inscription "IO IACOMO E FRAT. DE LEGNANO" around a blazing sun, in the middle of which are the letters I.H.S., under a cross. [3]
Giovanni Angelo Scinzenzeler printed four editions of The Imitation of Christ , in 1500, 1504, 1511 and 1519 (his father Giovanni had published one in 1489). [2]
