Pablo Hurus (also ''Paul Hurus, Paul Hyrus, Paul Huros, Paulus de Constantia'', born in Constance; died after 1505) was a German printer of the late 15th-century, active in Zaragoza, Aragon during 1484–1499. With his brother Juan, he established one of the important early printing shops of the Iberian peninsula, predated only by the Sevilla printing shops of Menrad Ungut and Estanislao Polono. In 1484, he printed the ''Evangelios e epístolas'' by Zaragozan humanist Gonzalo García de Santamaría, which included the first printed Bible translation into Spanish. No specimen of this work has survived, as it was ordered to be destroyed by the Spanish Inquisition after the ban on Bible translations issued in 1559 (the work does however survive in the reprint by Ambrosio Montesino, Toledo 1512). Between 1488 and 1491, Pablo Hurus returned to his native Germany, and the printing shop was under the direction of his brother Juan. This period saw the edition of the fables of Aesop's Fables (1489).〔(«Hurus, Juan.» ) ''Gran Enciclopedia Aragonesa'' 〕 and possibly the ''history of the seven sages of Rome''.〔(«Hallan en Escocia el incunable más antiguo en castellano de Los Siete Sabios.» ) ''La Razón''. 〕 Among Hurus' notable works are the ''Missale caesaraugustano'' (1484), the ''Exemplario contra los engaños y peligros del mundo'' by Juan de Capua (1493) and Boccacio's ''De mulieribus claris'' (1494). In 1497, he printed the Aragonese fueros (compilation of laws), edited by Gonzalo García de Santamaría, and the letters of Seneca, edited by Fernán Pérez de Guzmán. His masterpiece may be Bernhard of Breidenbach's ''Peregrinatio in terram sanctam'' of 1498, using three different blackletter types and more than seventy woodcut illustrations, decorative capital initials and eight great fold-out pages, one of them extending to the width of nine folia. In 1499, he printed the first history of Aragon, ''Crónica de Aragón'' by Gualberto Fabricio Vagad, with the first known representation of the coat of arms of Aragon on the title page. == References== * Gerónimo Borao, ''La imprenta en Zaragoza'', Imprenta y Librería de Vicente Andrés (1860) 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Pablo Hurus」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
