The author examines the reason why the press of the one-time Upper-Hungarian \ntown Bártfa (today Bardejov, Slovakia) owned by Jakob Klöss was chosen in 1598 to print Baranyai \nDecsi’s Adagia, his third book to appear in Hungary. His former two works both dedicated to the \nTransylvanian Prince Sigismund Báthory unlike his Adagia which was addressed by the author to \nGeorgius Warkocs were published in two different Transylvanian towns. It was very likely his person \nthat connected Baranyai Decsi and the printer of Bártfa. He was akin to several noble families resident \nin Upper Hungary who financially supported a series of books issued by the printer Jakob \nKlöss. It appears that it was to the advantage of Baranyai Decsi’s proverb-collection that it was issued \nby a competent printer in a well-equipped office also supplied with Greek types. The author \nalso gives a reconstruction of the printing types used in Adagia
