The first printing press established in Poland
The first printing press established in Poland was in Kraków, constructed by Szwajpolt Fiol i Jan Turzon in 1491 --Molobo 01:32, 1 November 2007 (UTC)


 * Dear Molobo, Kasper Straube was the name of the first German drukarz who brought the German art of printing to Krakau, or Cracow, in 1473. Schweipolt Fiol, a German from Franconia printed the first Cyrillic book, also in Cracow. And John Thurzo was a member of the Thurzo family. Then came Johann Haller. As with other scientists, craftsmen, etc., pl:Kategoria:Polscy drukarze is full of Germans who worked hard to enlight the people in what is Poland today. -- Matthead discuß!

 * Matthead, your cocky removal of my work will get you nowhere and can only result in administrative action. Besides, I find your racist attitude of cultural superiority repulsive. Please, enlighten yourself first. --Poeticbent talk  17:26, 2 November 2007 (UTC)


 * I am not surprised at all that many people sought in Poland haven from their places of birth to learn and study in freedom and open atmosphere that Polish Kingdom provided for men of intellect and talent. Of course to call some of them Germans is quite nationalistic, Germany would be invented only in XIX century as a state, and there was no German identity back then to speak of. --Molobo 23:47, 3 November 2007 (UTC)

"Johann Haller" printer --> 24 English language hits on gbooks (36-2 wikipedia reprints and 10 German language sources)

"Jan Haller" printer --> 93 English language hits on gbooks (103 - 1 wikipedia reprint and 9 foreign language sources). Maybe a bit less as there are some books with non-English titles but English language texts but still... almost a four fold difference in usage.

93/24=3.85

He was German but English sources call him "Jan Haller". Moving accordingly.  Volunteer Marek  22:00, 6 October 2011 (UTC)
