Italian printer, known by his Spanish name, who established the first printing house in the New World. Pablos worked for Johann Cromberger, a German printer in Seville, who in 1539 sent him to Mexico City. In 1543, Pablos published the first surviving book printed in the Americas, Doctrina breve muy provechosa by Bishop Zumárraga. Pablos was joined in 1550 by Antonio de Espinosa, a type founder and die cutter whose Roman and italic types, the first in the New World, soon replaced the Gothic forms used by Pablos up to that point.
