La Esperantisto (English: The Esperantist), stylised as La Esperantisto., was the first Esperanto periodical, published from 1889 to 1895.[1] L. L. Zamenhof started it in order to provide reading material for the then-nascent Esperanto community.
Its original publisher was Christian Schmidt, president of the Nuremberg International Language Club, the first Esperanto club.[2] Later, it was published by Wilhelm Trompeter, a major financial backer of the early Esperanto movement.
