Typography in Lower Carniola and Janez Krajec

Abstract

Typography occurred in Novo mesto as late as the beginning of the 18th century when Henrik Tandler from Celje came to town. His first print is from the year 1831. Another printer in Novo mesto was Vincenc Boben. The typographer who definitely marked the space and time in which he lived and worked was Janez Krajec. For 25 years, he became the central typography person on Slovene territory. Two hundred and forty eight monograph and serial publications came from his printing house of which proofreaders were the Novo mesto Franciscans with whom Krajec otherwise cooperated.
