A printer's devil was a young <a href="Apprentice" class="mw-redirect" title="Apprentice">apprentice</a> in a <a href="Printing" title="Printing">printing</a> establishment who performed a number of tasks, such as mixing tubs of ink and fetching type. Notable writers including <a href="Benjamin_Franklin" title="Benjamin Franklin">Benjamin Franklin</a>, <a href="Walt_Whitman" title="Walt Whitman">Walt Whitman</a>, <a href="Ambrose_Bierce" title="Ambrose Bierce">Ambrose Bierce</a>, <a href="Bret_Harte" title="Bret Harte">Bret Harte</a>, and <a href="Mark_Twain" title="Mark Twain">Mark Twain</a> served as printer's devils in their youth along with indentured servants.

There are religious, literary, and linguistic hypotheses for the etymology. Printers blamed the mischievous devil <a href="Titivillus" title="Titivillus">Titivillus</a> or confused a name with the legend <a href="Faust" title="Faust">Faust</a>. Other theories include racism, Gallicisms, or misspellings.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Etymology">Etymology</h2></div>

The term "printer's devil" has been ascribed to the apprentices' hands and skin getting stained black with <a href="Ink" title="Ink">ink</a> when removing sheets of paper from the <a href="Tympan" title="Tympan">tympan</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:0-1">[1]</a> In 1683, English printer <a href="Joseph_Moxon" title="Joseph Moxon">Joseph Moxon</a> wrote that "devil" was a humorous term for boys who were covered in ink: "whence the Workmen do Jocosely call them Devils; and sometimes Spirits, and sometimes Flies."<a href="#cite_note-:3-2">[2]</a><a href="#cite_note-3">[3]</a> Once cast metal type was used, worn, or broken, it was thrown into a "<a href="Hellbox" title="Hellbox">hellbox</a>", after which it was the printer's devil's job to either put it back in the job case, or take it to the furnace to be melted down and recast.<a href="#cite_note-4">[4]</a>

Many explanations have been given for the religious or supernatural connotations of the term.<a href="#cite_note-5">[5]</a> From the <a href="Middle_Ages" title="Middle Ages">Middle Ages</a> onward, particularly in <a href="Catholic_countries" class="mw-redirect" title="Catholic countries">Catholic countries</a>, technological inventions such as the printing press were often regarded with suspicion, and associated with <a href="Satan" title="Satan">Satan</a> and the "<a href="Black_magic" title="Black magic">Dark Arts</a>".<a href="#cite_note-:5-6">[6]</a><a href="#cite_note-7">[7]</a> Some have suggested that the term was coined as an <a href="Epithet" title="Epithet">epithet</a> by scribes who feared that the <a href="Printing_press" title="Printing press">printing press</a> would make the hand-copying of manuscripts obsolete.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> Several theories of the term's origins are included below.

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Titivillus">Titivillus</h3></div>

One popular theory is linked to the fanciful belief among printers that a special demon, <a href="Titivillus" title="Titivillus">Titivillus</a> (also referred to as "the original printer's devil"<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a>), haunted every print shop, performing mischief such as inverting type, misspelling words, and removing entire lines of completed type. Titivillus was said to execute his pranks by influencing the young apprentices – or "printer's devils" – as they set up type, or by causing errors to occur during the actual casting of metal type.<a href="#cite_note-:1-10">[10]</a> High-profile printing errors "blamed" on Titivillus included the omission of the word not in the <a href="Wicked_Bible" title="Wicked Bible">1631 Authorised Version of the Bible</a>, which resulted in <a href="Thou_shalt_not_commit_adultery" title="Thou shalt not commit adultery">Exodus 20:14</a> appearing as "Thou shalt commit adultery."<a href="#cite_note-:1-10">[10]</a> Often depicted as a creature with claw-like feet and horns on his head, the origins of the Titivillus legend date back to the Middle Ages, when he was said to collect "fragments of words" that were dropped or misspoken by the clergy or laiety in a sack to deliver to <a href="Satan" title="Satan">Satan</a> daily, and later, to record poorly recited prayers and gossip overheard in church with a pen on parchment, for use on <a href="Last_Judgment" title="Last Judgment">Judgement Day</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:1-10">[10]</a><a href="#cite_note-11">[11]</a> Over the centuries, Titivillus was also blamed for causing monks to make mistakes while copying manuscripts by hand; meddling with block and plate printing; and eventually, playing pranks with <a href="Movable_type" title="Movable type">movable type</a>.<a href="#cite_note-:1-10">[10]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Johann_Fust">Johann Fust</h3></div>

Regarding the origins of the term "devil" to refer to "the errand boy or youngest apprentice in a printing office", Pasko's American Dictionary of Printing and Bookmaking (1894) states: "It is said that it is derived from the belief that John Fust was In league with the devil, and the urchin covered with ink certainly made a very good representation of his Satanic majesty."<a href="#cite_note-:3-2">[2]</a> <a href="Johann_Fust" title="Johann Fust">Johann Fust</a> (c.1400–1466), also known as Faust, loaned money to <a href="Johannes_Gutenberg" title="Johannes Gutenberg">Johannes Gutenberg</a> to perfect his printing process using movable type, and sued Gutenberg for repayment, with interest, in 1455.<a href="#cite_note-:6-12">[12]</a> Fust, together with Gutenberg's son-in-law Peter Schoeffer, then set up their own printing business and published the <a href="Mainz_Psalter" title="Mainz Psalter">Mainz Psalter</a>, a Bible which introduced colour printing, in 1457.<a href="#cite_note-:6-12">[12]</a> Over the centuries, biographical accounts of Fust, the printer, have often become confused or intertwined with the legend of <a href="Johann_Georg_Faust" title="Johann Georg Faust">Johann Georg Faust</a> (c.1480–1540), the <a href="Alchemy" title="Alchemy">alchemist</a> and <a href="Necromancy" title="Necromancy">necromancer</a> who became the subject of numerous "<a href="Historia_von_D._Johann_Fausten_(chapbook)" title="Historia von D. Johann Fausten (chapbook)">Faust books</a>" published in Germany starting in 1587, which in turn inspired <a href="Christopher_Marlowe" title="Christopher Marlowe">Christopher Marlowe</a>'s work, <a href="Doctor_Faustus_(play)" title="Doctor Faustus (play)">Doctor Faustus</a> (c.1591–1593).<a href="#cite_note-:7-13">[13]</a> The <a href="Faust" title="Faust">legendary Faustus</a> is said to have sold his soul to the demon <a href="Mephistopheles" title="Mephistopheles">Mephistopheles</a>, in exchange for a book or <a href="Encyclopedia" title="Encyclopedia">encyclopedia</a> of magical spells.<a href="#cite_note-:7-13">[13]</a> In 1570, even before publication of the first Faustbuch, English church historian <a href="John_Foxe" title="John Foxe">John Foxe</a> credited "a Germaine...named Joan. Faustus, a goldesmith" for the invention of the printing press, in the second edition of <a href="Foxe's_Book_of_Martyrs" title="Foxe's Book of Martyrs">Actes and Monuments</a>, although he had previously attributed its invention to "Jhon Guttenbergh".<a href="#cite_note-:7-13">[13]</a> Literary scholar Sarah Wall-Rendell argues that the association of the Doctor Faustus legend with books and printing technology reflected ongoing ambivalence among Reformation writers about the impact that books would have on an increasingly literate populace.<a href="#cite_note-:7-13">[13]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Aldus_Manutius">Aldus Manutius</h3></div>

Yet another possible origin is ascribed to <a href="Aldus_Manutius" title="Aldus Manutius">Aldus Manutius</a>, a <a href="Venice" title="Venice">Venetian</a> printer (<abbr title="floruit ('flourished' – known to have been active at a particular time or during a particular period)">fl.</abbr> 1450-1515), who was denounced by detractors for practicing the black arts as early printing was long associated with devilry.<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> The assistant to Manutius was a young boy of African descent who was accused of being the embodiment of Satan and dubbed the printer's devil.<a href="#cite_note-15">[15]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="William_Caxton">William Caxton</h3></div>

Some boys claimed their names descended from an apprentice <a href="William_Caxton" title="William Caxton">William Caxton</a> had in the 1470s.<a href="#cite_note-:8-16">[16]</a> His name changed from De Vile, to DeVille and Deville.<a href="#cite_note-:8-16">[16]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Malayalam_root">Malayalam root</h3></div>

While the term "printer's devil" in India may stem from the European legend of Titivillus, another theory is that it might stem from the Malayalam term for "printing error" (achadi pisaku), which is only one change of a Malayalam letter away from "printing devil" (achadi pisachu).<a href="#cite_note-:2-17">[17]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Famous_devils">Famous devils</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Usage">Usage</h2></div>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="United_States">United States</h3></div>

In North America during the late 18th and early 19th centuries, young boys were indentured to printers by their parents, or in the case of orphans, by the municipal or church authorities.<a href="#cite_note-:4-20">[20]</a> More than apprentices in other trades, printer's devils were boys who had expressed an interest in printing.<a href="#cite_note-:4-20">[20]</a> By 1894, American Dictionary of Printing and Bookmaking noted that with the decline of the apprenticeship system in the United States, the term "printer's devil" was going out of use.<a href="#cite_note-:3-2">[2]</a>

<div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="India">India</h3></div>

The printer's devil is also known in other languages such as Bengali, where it is called Chhapakhanar Bhoot.<a href="#cite_note-:2-17">[17]</a>
