Jean Pepermans

Jean Pepermans, sometimes Latinized Joannes Pepermannus (active 1620–1635) was a 17th-century printer and bookseller, official printer to the city of Brussels. Very little is known about his life, but he published works by or about some of the leading figures at the Brussels court.

Archival records

In 1634 he was paid £150 for printing a memorial to the Infanta Isabella Clara Eugenia, Mausolee erigé à la memoire d'Isabelle-Claire-Eugenie by Jean Puget de la Serre.^[1]
