Adam of Rottweil

Adam of Rottweil, (German: Adam von Rottweil; Italian: Adamo de Rodvila (Rottweil 14?? - L'Aquila 1???) was a fifteenth century scholar and printer. He was originally a pupil and collaborator of Johann Gutenberg. In 1477 Adam published in Venice one of the first German-Italian dictionaries. This work was clearer and better organized compared with the first German-Venetian dictionary published in 1424 by Georg von Nürnberg. He was working to recreate the alphabet of Roman inscriptions, something that he completed circa 1460. In 1481 Adam obtained permission to establish a printing press in L'Aquila.

gollark: Well, probably, but saying that is unlikely to make my application a larger number.
gollark: That is definitely a statement.
gollark: See, thing is, LyricLy said my application was 7/10. That's a slightly modified version of that. I need more numbers for him to enstaffen me.
