{{Short description|Dutch calligrapher, engraver, printer and editor}}
'''Simone Verovio''' ({{Abbrlink|''fl.''|floruit}} 1575 – 17 December 1607) was a Netherlandish [[Calligraphy|calligrapher]], [[Engraving|engraver]], printer, and editor. He was born (perhaps with the name Simon Werrewick<ref>[[Alfred Einstein]], "Bibliography of Italian Secular Vocal Music Printed between the Years 1500–1700, by Emil Vogel (Eighth Installment)", ''[[Notes (journal)|Notes]]'' 2nd series, vol. 4, no. 2 (March 1947), pp. 201–216</ref>) in [['s-Hertogenbosch]] and moved to Rome no later than 1575. By 1586 he began printing music books, using [[Music engraving|engraved plates]]. These were some of the first music books published in this manner. Some of the books he printed seem to have been engraved by Martin van Buyten, however through various editions the attribution changes. He printed [[Luzzasco Luzzaschi]]'s ''Madrigali'' (1601) and [[Claudio Merulo]]'s ''Toccate d'intavolatura'' (1598, 1604).<ref>{{cite Grove|author=Thomas W.
