Johannes Schott

[1] A lull in his activity occurred between 1503 and 1508, when he produced only three books, all versions of the Margarita Philosophica, an encyclopedia by German humanist Gregor Reisch.

They include many humanistic works (from Italian scholars and Germans, particularly Ulrich von Hutten), and also classical literature.

[1] Schott printed Luther's so-called Invocavit Sermons, based on notes sent to him by people in Wittenberg.

[1] In 1533, Schott sued the Frankfurt printer Christian Egenolff, who had published the Kreuterbuch by Eucharius Rösslin.

Schott maintained that Egenolff had violated the copyright laws (an imperial privilege for six years after publication)[2] by copying from his Herbarium Vivae Icones, illustrated by Hans Weiditz and compiled and annotated by Otto Brunfels.
