András Hess

András Hess (Latin: Andreas Hess; fl. 1470–1473) was a printer of German origin who established the first printing press in the Kingdom of Hungary. Working in Buda under the patronage of Archbishop János Vitéz and Provost László Karai, Hess printed the ''Chronica Hungarorum'' (Buda Chronicle), completed on 5 June 1473, the eve of Pentecost. This work, written in Latin, is regarded as the first book ever printed in Hungary and marks the beginning of Hungarian printing history. Provided by Wikipedia
