Lienhart Holle, also known as Leonhart Holl, was a German printer who lived during the 1400s. He is known as the third book printer in the city of Ulm. Early in his printing career, Holle produced playing cards. Between 1482 and 1484, his workshop produced several significant works of early book printing. His most notable achievement is considered to be the first atlas printed north of the Alps, the Ulm Ptolemy. Lienhart Holle died after 1492. [1] [2] [3]
Holl's early life is unknown. In historical record, he had worked as a formschneider and woodcut dealer. [4]
The Ulm Ptolemy, the Ulm edition of Ptolemy's world map, which was part of the Geographia series, is described as the first map atlas printed north of Alps; the first atlas to be printed in more northern areas of Europe.
