Biography

Very little is known about his life, including the year of his birth and the date of his death. He was most likely from Târgoviște and practiced printing in the same city under the guidance of Moise the Monk and Dimitrije Ljubavić who were working for the Metropolis of Ungro-Wallachia. He moved to Brașov in 1559, where he started printing books not only in Church Slavonic, but also in Romanian. The epithet deacon was interpreted as meaning "minor writer of Slavonic language in a chancery", yet it is more likely he was an actual deacon of the Eastern Orthodox Church
During his activity he printed approximately 35 book titles. His activity was not limited to a single religious group, his works having Calvinist, Lutheran, or Orthodox patronage.

Coresi printed 10 books in Romanian:
