Joachim Trognaesius

Joachim Trognaesius, sometimes Trognesius or Trogney (died 23 June 1624), was a printer and bookseller in late-16th-century and early-17th-century Antwerp.

Joachim Trognaesius is first mentioned as a bookseller in the accounts of the Plantin Office in 1586 and of the Chamber of Rhetoric the Violieren in 1588.

[1] As a printer he produced works in Dutch, French, Italian, English and Latin, including history books, devotional works, classical texts and almanacs.

He was also, together with his son Alexander, alleged to be a purveyor of illustrated editions of the pornographic sonnets of Pietro Aretino.

His business, on the churchyard of Antwerp Cathedral, was continued by his son, Caesar Joachim Trognaesius (born 1590), who was also a designer of calligraphic type.
