Balthazar Bellerus


Balthasar or Balthazar Bellerus or Bellère was a printer first at Antwerp and later at Douai in the Habsburg Netherlands. He was a son of the reputable Antwerp printer Joannes Bellerus, and set up a printing shop of his own in the Rue des Ecoles in Douai in 1590, becoming a colleague and rival to Jean Bogard. The motto that appeared on his printer's mark was Labore ac perseverantiâ. His marks were the golden compass and a unicorn dipping its horn in a stream.
