Collijn 292. Amund Grefwe (ca. 1610-1677), was the first printer in Göteborg. He studied Latin at the University of Uppsala and was the author of a few minor works. He began his printing career in Uppsala working for Professor Wallius's private press and later for Laurentius Paulinus Gothus. Grefwe moved to Stockholm, where he worked for the royal translator Ericus Schroderus and when he moved back to his place of birth in Nyköping Grefwe goes with him.
In 1646 he was offered a job in Göteborg. When he had finished the work on "Carionis Chronika" he moved to Göteborg in 1650. He was not satisfied with the promised conditions and complained to the Governor of Västergötland. In 1653 he was given priviliges by Queen Kristina, which allowed him to publish and sell his own works and also scholarly books. In 1650 he published the first book printed in Göteborg: " Christelige Gåfwors Apoteek."
