Matteo Capcasa was a printer and
Fior di virtù. His workshop was in San Paterniano, where he worked with his brother Giovanni.[1]
In 1489 Capcasa began a collaboration with the Florentine publisher – and later also printer - Lucantonio Giunti, with three titles: the works of Ovid; an anonymous translation into the volgare of the Transito de sancto Hieronymo, partly by Eusebius Cremonensis; and a translation of the Imitatio Christi, authorship of which was at that time attributed to Jean Gerson.[2]
Capcasa then collaborated with
Tragedies of Seneca and the Epigrammata of Giovanni Battista Cantalicio.[1]
In 1494 he printed two editions for the Florentine publisher Girolamo Biondo: the De coelesti vita of Giovanni da Ferrara, and the letters of Marsilio Ficino. In July 1495 he completed printing the Epistolae of Francesco Filelfo for the Milanese publisher Ottaviano Scotti. He died shortly thereafter.[1]
