The importance of Cologne diminished, though the sons of Heinrich Quen- tell had a good business. Augsburg, on the other hand, came to the front, the elder and younger Schoensperger, Jo

At Nuremberg the chief printing houses were those of Hieronymus Holzel, Johann Weissenburger, and Friedrich Peypus. Leipzig and Hagenau both greatly increased their output, and with the advent of Luther, Wittenberg soon became an important publishing centre.
