Excerpt: Avisa Relation oder Zeitung was one of the first news-periodicals in the world. It was published in Wolfenbüttel , Germany in 1609. The printer/publisher was Lucas Schulte. The first issue states that the news had been collected from various countries by January 15. It is presumed that the issue was printed on or about that date. Some books mention the Avisa as the world’s first newspaper . Before 2005 there was a dispute whether the Avisa or the Relation aller Fürnemmen und gedenckwürdigen Historien , which was printed in Strassburg by Johann Carolus , was first. It was believed that both started in 1609. New evidence found in 2005, however, suggests that the Relation started as early as 1605. There is also a differing view, which does not regard either of these two publications as newspapers in a formal sense. Authors like Stanley Morison make a distinction between newsbooks (weekly news publications in a quarto format) and later folio-sized newspapers.References (URLs online) See also (online edition) A hyperlinked version of this chapter is at The Comentarios Reales de los Incas is a book written by Inca Garcilaso de la Vega , the first mestizo writer of colonial Andean South America .
