Mang, Christoph
Christoph Mang (1567-1617) was an Augsburg publisher - the first Catholic printer in that city after more than 60 years of Protestant book printing. Nothing is known of his childhood or early education. He arrived in Augsburg in 1597, and worked as a journeyman for printer Michael Manger until going into business for himself in 1603. Among his more notable early projects was Johann Bayer's Uranometria, but much of his work was on the behalf of Jesuits, for whom he printed edifying and polemical literature. His widow Sara Mang continued the printing business until 1624.
