Pedro Ocharte
Life and career
Originally from Rouen in France, Ocharte came to the City of Mexico in New Spain around 1549. He married Maria de Figueroa, the daughter of printer Juan Pablos, and in 1563 took over the operation of Pablos's press. In 1572, Ocharte was imprisoned by the Inquisition, as one of his prints was considered heretical. Ocharte died around 1592.
Ocharte's son Melchior Ocharte was also a printer.
