Peter Treveris

Peter Treveris (alternate name: Peter of Treves) was an English stationer and printer.

Life

Very little is known about his early life. Most of the details about his life are known from the works of Edward Gordon Duff, who also wrote the article about him in the Dictionary of National Biography.[1]

He was a native of Germany. He primarily worked in Southwark, London.[2]

Career

His major patrons were Robert Wyer and Bishop John Fisher.[2]

Between 1521 and 1533, he entered into a business partnership with Wynkyn de Worde.[2]

He printed some thirty or forty books, and more than half of these were small grammatical tracts.[3]

He used only one printer's mark consistently throughout his career.[2]
