Kasper Straube (also Kaspar[1][2] or Caspar,[3] also known as The Printer of the Turrecrematas) was a German 15th-century printer from Bavaria.
He was active in Kraków between 1473 and 1477, decades before Johann Haller. His Latin almanac Calendarium cracoviense (Cracovian Calendar) of 1473[4] is regarded as the first work printed in Poland.[5]
Other surviving printed works by Straube include:
- Juan de Torquemada: Explanatio in Psalterium
- Franciscus de Platea: Opus restitutionum usurarum et excommunicationum
- Augustine of Hippo: Opuscula (de doctrina christiana, de praedestinatione sanctorum)
