E. R. was a German printer active in Venice (1476–1485), then in Augsburg (1486–1522). He had left Augsburg in 1474 and founded a printshop in Venice in 1476, initially together w. Bernhart Maler (Pictor) from Augsburg and Peter Loslein (oder Loesslein) from Langenzenn; Maler/Pictor left in 1476, Loslein even earlier. Among other classics, Ratdolts printshop published circa one dozen juridical, astronomical, mathematical and medical books in Venice, then several further in Augsburg until 1522. cf. also https://www.wdl.org/en/item/9540/ ; https://luna.folger.edu/luna/servlet/detail/FOLGERCM1~6~6~814031~152762:-Elements--Latin--Preclarissimus-li?qvq=q%3Acall_number%3D%22INC+E86%22+%3Bsort%3Acall_number%2Cauthor%2Ccd_title%2Cimprint%3Blc%3AFOLGERCM1%7E6%7E6&cic=FOLGERCM1%7E6%7E6&sort=call_number%2Cauthor%2Ccd_title%2Cimprint&mi=0&trs=2
