Jean Brito or Jan Brulelou (active 1455–1483) was a Breton printer in the Burgundian Netherlands. He was born in Pipriac, a village approximately halfway between Rennes and Nantes. He moved to Tournai where he worked as a calligrapher. Then he moved to Bruges, where he became a printer in the course of the 1470s.[1] In a short verse he refers to himself as a citizen of Bruges.[2]
