Berthold Rembolt Explained

Berthold Rembolt (died 1518) was a medieval printer.^[1]

Life

He was originally from Ehenheim in Alsace.^[2]

He died in 1518.

Career

Though a native of Strasbourg, he worked in Paris. His printing career began in 1494. He was a contemporary of Guillaume Fichet, Charlotte Guillard and Ulrich Gering. He worked alone or in collaboration with Gering, at the Soleil d'Or rue Sorbonne (1494-1508), with J. Waterloes (1511), and L. Hornken (1512).

Among the notable books printed by Remboldt are the Missale Parisiense, Pope Gregory the Great's Dialogorum libri quattor, and Erasmus' Familiarum colloquiorum formulae et alia quaedam recognita^{[2] [3]}

Remboldt's business was continued by his widow Charlotte Guillard, who in 1520, two years after his death, married the printer and bookseller Claude Chevallon (1479–1537). Claude Chevallon's printer's mark had been two horses, and to these he added the sun, the sign over Rembolt's shop, when the two shops merged.
