Encouraged by the example and success of Haller’s enterprise, others soon entered the publishing business, and the number of printing presses in Cracow multiplied rapidly. In the first half of the sixteenth century the Polish capital was the proud possessor of the printing establishments of Florian Ungler, Hieronimus Wietor, Matthew Scharffenberger, Siebeneicher, Wierzbięta, Lazarus Andrysowicz, and of Piotrkowczyk.[198] Ungler was the first one of the Cracow printer-publishers to attempt Polish prints. Among his employees was a certain John of Sącz (Jan z Sącza), who later became a very active promoter of Polish printing. In 1533 this John of Sącz, known now also as Małecki and Sandecki, had a printing establishment in Pułtusk. By 1536 we find him in East Prussia at first as printer-publisher and afterwards as Lutheran pastor and superintendent at Elck.[199] Ungler’s successors became Stanislaus of Zakliczyn and Gregory Przeworski.[200] The largest and best in point of output and quality of work was the printing establishment of Andrysowicz. By it were printed the constitutions of the Polish Diet, Wujek’s Bible, and many other important and valuable books of the sixteenth century.[201] In the years 1503-1536 there were published in Cracow alone two hundred ninety-four printed books, or as many as in the whole of England in the same period.[202] Thus, the Polish capital became the centre of cultural activity, not only for Poland, but also for eastern and south-eastern Europe. “The earliest books for Hungary, Moldavia, Transylvania, Ruthenia, and Lithuania were printed in Cracow.”[203] But Cracow was not the only Polish city in which printing establishments were to be found. Other cities had them, too. In the first half of the sixteenth century printing establishments were found in Wilno, Pułtusk, and Poznań. Later, in the course of the second half of the same century, printing presses were established in Lublin, Brześć-Litewski, Kowno, Łosk, Nieświez, Łowicz, Płock, Kalisz, Pińczów, Raków, Zamość, Warsaw, Gdańsk, Chełm, Lwów, Kiev, and other provincial cities and towns.[204]
