Lotter was the last name of a family of
Reformation
.
The founder of the family was Melchior Lotter, the elder, born at
Persius (1512), Horatii Epistolæ (1522), and Luther Tessaradecos Consolatoria pro Laborantibus (1520). His relations with the Reformation are not perfectly clear, but he seems to have been a sympathizer. An innovation by the elder Lotter was his use of Roman types for Latin, reserving the Gothic types for German
.
His son was also named Melchior (died c. 1542), which has resulted in some bibliographical confusion. Melchior, the younger, is best known for printing
Melanchthon
the means to carry on classes in Greek. When he returned to Leipzig, about 1525, Lotter carried on his father's business.
