Note générale
Niclas Wankijff married Georg Hantsch’s widow Maria Matras in 1669, took over the printing house and secured the royal privilege to print the official documents. He also printed the official Swedish newspaper between 1672 and 1687. During the 17th century the privileged printer often printed and sold extra copies or new editions of the official publications for his own profit. No printer did this more systematically than Niclas Wankijff. The editor of the newspaper protested and came to some sort of agreement with Wankijff in the 1670s. The civil servant who handled proofreading of the official documents managed in 1687 to secure the right to publish extra copies for himself, and Wankijf was threatened with a heavy fine if he continued this habit. He continued nevertheless and the fight did not end until his death, which occurred in 1690, after February 13 but before April 13. His widow continued the printing house. [Sources: All printed reference sources give his year of death as 1689, but this is proved wrong by imprints and documents in the National archives of Sweden.]
