Diebold Lauber was a German printer and publisher who lived in the 15th century. He was born in Hagenau, Alsace in 1427 and died in Strasbourg in 1471. Lauber was one of the most important printers of his time and was known for producing high quality books and manuscripts. He was particularly skilled at printing religious texts, including Bibles, prayer books and hymnals. Lauber's most famous work is the 'Mammoth Bible', which he printed in 1460. This massive book contained over 1,200 pages and weighed over 700 pounds. It was the largest book ever printed at the time and a testament to Lauber's skill as a printer. Lauber was also known for his innovative printing techniques. He used woodcuts and metal engravings to illustrate his books and was one of the first printers to use movable type. Lauber's legacy as a printer and publisher is still felt today. His books are highly prized by collectors and scholars and provide valuable insights into the history of printing and publishing during the Renaissance.
