"Ulrich Liebpert, printer to the court Electors of Brandenburg in Berlin, seems to have been the first printer to use the roman and italic types of Nicholas Kis in German-speaking regions, introducing them by at least 1696 and perhaps 1694. The present book, published in 1714, the year of Liebpert's death, uses many of the same Kis types and seems to have been printed in the Electoral printing office by Liebpert or his heirs."--Asher Rare Books & Antiquariaat FORUM datasheet.
