German engraver and goldsmith, active in Cologne at the end of the XVc, whom Nagler dubiously identifies (III, pp. 834-844) with the master Johannes Köln. His engravings, some twenty in number, are mainly derived from subjects by Martin Schongauer. His monogram consists of the two letters IC, occasionally separated by the coat of arms of the city of Cologne.
