Matteo Capcasa

Matteo Capcasa was a printer and typographer from Parma, in Emilia in central Italy, which at that time was subject to the Duchy of Milan.

He was active as a book printer and typographer in Venice from 1485, when he printed a Vocabularium utriusque iuris (usually attributed to Jodocus of Erfurt) and an anonymous Fior di virtù.

[3]: 38  Later in 1491 Capcasa fell seriously ill. After his recovery, he again collaborated with Giunti, on a further four works including the Dialogo della divina Provvidenza of Catherine of Siena.

He also printed a number of books on his own account, including a reprint of the Dante from 1491, another Fior di virtù, the 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.
