Juan Planck (also known as Juan Blanco, Johann Planck, Johannes Planck and possibly Johannes de Salsburga, Johann von Salzburg, fl. 1479-1484) was a fifteenth-century German cleric turned printer who became a founder of the printing business in Iberia. [1] [2]
Planck is thought to have collaborated with two other Germans, Enrique Botel, and Georgius von Holz, with Botel as the master craftsman teaching the other two, as early at 1473, possibly in Barcelona. [3] In 1475, Planck published the first clearly dated printed book in Barcelona. [4] After Holz's death, the remaining two renewed their arrangement in Zaragoza in 1477. [5]
In 1477, Planck also began working with Pablo Hurus (with whose brother, Juan/Johann, he is not to be confused). [6] [7]
Planck never had his own press and his name does not appear in any colophon, but a series of editions have been attributed to him such as Ethica ad Nicchomacum (1473), printed with Botel and Holtz, Vita et transitus sancti Hieronymi (c. 1476-77), printed together with Botel and Paul Hurus, or the Fables of Aesop (1482) with Paul Hurus. [8]
Planck may or may not be identical with the Johannes de Salsburga who worked alongside Paul Hurus in Barcelona, appearing alongside him in the colophon to a 1475 Barcelona edition of Perottus's Rudimenta Grammaticae . (Little else is known about Johannes de Salsburga; another possible identification is with one Juan Gherlinc). Johannes de Salsburga also printed the following volumes in Barcelona in 1475: [9]
An incunable or incunabulum is a book, pamphlet, or broadside that was printed in the earliest stages of printing in Europe, up to the year 1500. Incunabula were produced before the printing press became widespread on the continent and are distinct from manuscripts, which are documents written by hand. Some authorities on the history of printing include block books from the same time period as incunabula, whereas others limit the term to works printed using movable type.

He wrote poetry, commented on literary works, and encouraged the study of classical languages and literature, but his most important contributions were in the fields of grammar and lexicography.

Originally referring to competitions held in the Spanish championship, the term now includes every match between the clubs, such as those in the UEFA Champions League, Supercopa de España and Copa del Rey. It is considered one of sport's fiercest rivalries, and its matches have a global audience of hundreds of millions. A fixture known for its intensity, it has featured memorable goal celebrations from both teams, often involving mockery from both sides.
The Chronica Naierensis or Crónica najerense was a late twelfth-century chronicle of universal history composed at the Benedictine monastery of Santa María la Real in Nájera. In Latin it narrates events from Creation to its own time, with a focus on the Bible, classical history, the Visigothic in Spain, and the kingdoms of Castile and León. It was an important model for later Spanish Latin historiographers, notably the De rebus Hispaniae of Rodrigo Jiménez de Rada, the Chronicon mundi of Lucas de Tuy, and the Estoria de España of the patronage of Alfonso X of Castile.

The Chronica latina regum Castellae, known in Spanish as the Crónica latina de los reyes de Castilla, both meaning "Latin Chronicle of the Kings of Castile", is a medieval Latin history of the rulers of Castile from the death of Count Fernán González in 970 to the reconquest of Córdoba by King Ferdinand III in 1236–39. It was probably composed by Juan de Soria, the Bishop of Osma and chancellor of Ferdinand III, between 1217 and 1239. The majority of the text deals with the reigns of Alfonso VIII (1158–1214) and Ferdinand III (1217–1252). It was designed with two purposes: for use at the royal court as a speculum principis and to defend the interests of Castile against those of the Kingdom of León.

He is best known as the author of Manipulus curatorum, a handbook for parish priests, that was often copied, with some 180 complete or partial manuscripts surviving, and later reprinted throughout Europe in the next 200 years, with at least 119 printings, and sales which have been estimated to be three times those of Thomas Aquinas' Summa Theologica. It became obsolete only when the Council of Trent created the Roman Catechism in 1566.
