French printer of incunables

Petrus Maufer, also known as Pierre Maufer, Pietro Maufer, or Petrus Maufer de Maliferis, was a 15th-century French printer of incunables, who learned the trade together with Martin Morin when the family Lallemant from Rouen sent them to the Rhine region to learn about book printing. Instead of returning to Rouen with Morin, he travelled to Italy and became one of the earliest known printers in Padua, Verona, Venice and Modena.
