His descendants carried on the family business into the 18th century.==Life==Léonard Streel was born in [[Zoutleeuw]], near [[Sint-Truiden]], the son of Robert de Streel and Marie Beynen. He married Catherine, one of the daughters of [[Gauthier Morberius]], who had established the first printing press in [[Liège]]. He inherited his father-in-law's business on condition that he care for his disabled brother-in-law, Charles Morberius. Morberius made his will in 1588 and it was registered, at Streel's request, on 14 June 1595.Anne Rouzet, ''Dictionnaire des imprimeurs, libraires et éditeurs des XVe et XVIe siècles dans les limites géographiques de la Belge actuelle'' (Nieuwkoop, 1975), pp. 211-212.Between 1593 and 1653, Streel published works in French, Latin and Dutch, mostly of an educational or religious nature, often financed by the booksellers Jaspar Ostreman, Lambert de la Coste, Jean de Glen and Guillaume Hovius. In 1590 he was working from the address "St Sebastian" near the bishop's palace. From 1600 his address was in "the Galley" on the Rue Gerardrie. Around 1636 he, or possibly one of his sons with the same name. was working from "the Earthly Paradise" on Rue Souverain Pont.Streel died in Liège in 1653. His business was continued by his widow, Catherine Morberius, and then by their son, Guillaume-Henri.==Publications==;1594* [anonymous], ''Warachtich verhael van de groote tyrannye des groeten Turcqs''{{Cite web|author=[anonymous] |title=Warachtich verhael van de groote tyrannye des groeten Turcqs |url=https://ustc.ac.uk/editions/413050 |website=USTC}};1595* [[Heinrich Seuse]], ''XXI meditations et exercises spirituelz tresutiles pour conduire l'ame fidelle en la contemplation des principaux mysteres de la passion pour tous les jours de la sepmaine.
