John of Cologne, established as a printer at Venice as early as 1471,
was associated 1472-1473 with Wendelin of Speier, whose business and
types he took over in 1474. He had as partner, 1474-1480, John Manthen,
and in 1480, Nicolas Jenson. The type of the _Aristotle_ is a close
imitation of the first font of John and Wendelin of Speier.
