WECHEL (Christian), a famous printer in Paris, before the middle of the 16th century. His editions were so extremely correct, that the errata of a folio volume did not sometimes contain above two faults; but he was brought into trouble in 1534, for having sold a book of Erasmus De usu interdicti Carnium, which had been censured by the faculty of divinity. According to father Garasse, he fell into poverty, by an immediate curse of God, for printing a book, in which the author endeavoured to prove that innocent children would not be eternally damned for dying without baptism.
