Johannes Pauli was sent to Sweden by Johannes Janssonius the older to manage his branch business in Stockholm, both printing house and bookshop. Pauli probably arrived in Stockholm in late 1648 or in 1649. In 1650 he was offered to succeed Eskil Mattsson, printer to the university in Uppsala. Pauli was contracted by the academy in February 1651. He agreed to work with another printer, Petrus Hansson, who was equally approved to be academic printer, and they ran the printing house in conjunction during 1651 and 1652. Hansson then left, and became printer to the academy in Åbo, at the latest from June 1653. Pauli continued the academic printing house on his own. The university was not satisfied with his work, and Henric Curio, who had succeeded him as Janssonius’s manager in Stockholm also succeeded him as printer in Uppsala, which was confirmed in 1661, but in practice happened already 1659. Pauli then worked as journeyman for Curio, an unfortunate arrangement which lasted until the beginning of 1665. Pauli died in the autumn of that year.
