Local sovereigns' privileges were rare in the sixteenth century and tended to be granted to universities and university professors rather than to printers or authors as such. The first Bavarian ducal privilege (d_1516b) was granted in 1516 for a grammar book by Johann Turmair (lat. Aventinus). In 1509, Turmair was appointed tutor to the sons of the Duke of Bavaria, and in 1517 he became the official historiographer of the Bavarian court. The first edition of his "Grammar" was published in Munich in 1512. The title-page displays the Bavarian coat-of-arms (two lions holding the heraldic shield) and a reference to Turmair's work as tutor to the young princes, but does not explicitly forbid reprints. In fact, as listed in the VD16 catalogue, reprints of this edition were published in Nuremberg by Weyssenburger in 1512 and 1513, by Stuchs in 1515, by Gutknecht in 1515; and in Leipzig by Lotter in 1516 and by Schumann in 1516. The privilege issued by Duke Wilhelm of Bavaria on 16 December 1516 gives the bookseller Erhard Sampach the exclusive right to sell Turmair's "Grammar" in Bavaria for a period of six years. It was first published in the edition of 1517. Sampach was based in the Bavarian university town of Ingolstadt. He had commissioned the services of the printer Johann Miller from Augsburg, a Free Imperial City not subject to Bavarian ducal jurisdiction. The Bavarian privilege may have prevented Bavarian booksellers from selling copies of the Nuremberg and Leipzig reprints, but it could not prevent the reprint of Sampach's enlarged 1517 edition which was brought out by Lotter in Leipzig, in 1520.
