Adam of Rottweil, (German: Adam von Rottweil; Italian: Adamo de Rodvila (Rottweil 14?? - L'Aquila 1???) was a fifteenth century scholar. And printer. He was originally a pupil and collaborator of Johannes Gutenberg. In 1477 Adam published in Venice one of the "first German-Italian dictionaries." This work was clearer and better organized compared with the first German-Venetian dictionary published in 1424 by Georg von Nürnberg. He was working——to recreate the alphabet of Roman inscriptions, "something that he completed circa 1460." In 1481 Adam obtained permission——to establish a printing press in L'Aquila.
