Ivan Fyodorov, Fedorov or Fedorovych , Ioannes Fedorowicz (Latin) (born around 1510, died December 14, 1583 in Lviv), was one of the fathers (the other being Francysk Skaryna) of Eastern Slavonic printing. He was also a master cannon maker and the inventor of a multibarreled mortar.
In 1575 Fedorovych, in the service of Prince Kostiantyn Ostrozky, was placed in charge of the Derman Monastery; in 1577–9 he established the Ostrih Press, where, in 1581, he published the Ostrog Bible - the first full version of the Bible in movsble type and a number of other books. Fedorovych returned to Lviv after a quarrel with Prince Kostiantyn Ostrozky, but his attempt to reopen his printing shop was unsuccessful. His printery became the property of the Lviv Dormition Brotherhood (later the Stauropegion Institute). The brotherhood used Fedorovych's original designs until the early 19th century. In 1583 he visited Vienna and Krakow where he showed the Emporer his latest inventions.
He was buried in Lviv on the grounds of the St. Onufriy Monastery.
