Main (Thompson) Library location: South wing -- First window. Juan Rosembach of Heidelberg (c. 14-- – c. 1530) was first documented in Valencia in 1490, where he was contracted to print breviaries for neighboring dioceses with Jaume de Vila. He established a printing press in Barcelona by 1492; there he printed his first known book, the Biblia Pequeña of St. Peter of Paschasius with Nicolás Spindeler. Following the year 1499, Rosembach moved his press to Tarragona, Perpignan, and Montserrat, respectively, where he continued to print liturgical missals, breviaries, and diurnals. His most significant works include Consolat de Mar, Officias de Cicero, De prosodia hoc est accentu, and an edition of Aristotle's Nicomachean Ethics. Rosembach used several printing devices over the course of his career. The mark displayed in the Vassar Library features an uppercase Gothic R decorated by a sloping arc that extends from the vertical stroke of the initial. Additionally, the letter and design are surmounted by a patriarchal cross. In his more elaborate devices, Rosembach employed imagery of stags and roses; one of these included a border with an abbreviated Latin inscription meaning, "Create in me a clean heart, O God."
