Note: The following printer, bookseller, or publisher lists are works in progress. They are generated from title page imprints and may reproduce false and misleading attributions or contain errors.

What does "printed by" mean? How to read the roles ascribed to people in the imprints.

In terms of the book trades, the lists below are sorted into up to four groups where: the person is designated in the imprint as having a single role:

  1. "printed by x"; or
  2. "sold by x"; or
  3. "printed for x" or "published by x";

or as having the seller and printer roles in combination, or an absence of the printer's name following "London: printed:" or "London: printed,":

  1. "printed and sold by x"; or "printed for and sold by x"; or "printed by and for x"; or "printed: and sold by x"; or "printed, and sold by x";  and so on.

On this last point, trade publishers may seem to have "printed" or "published" the work, though they did not own the copyright. The lists below reflect only the information on the imprint, except where ESTC provides extra information.

  • S., J.. The store-house of nature expos'd to view: or, The dsciription [sic] and physical vertues of such herbs and plants as are commonly found in this nation. Opperating and working strange and wonderful (though safe) cures on the bodies of men, and women, and children; insomuch that many hundreds who are daily afflicted with sickness and pains that too often end in death may in their own or their neighbors garden or field, find an easie, cheap, and speedy cure; and to their admiration, be re-stored to health, beyond the skill of quacks, who for the most part being illiterate persons, know not the vertue and opperation of symples. To this is added, the figures of the most material herbs and plants, the like (unless in great volums [sic] which the poor are not capable of purchasing) not published before. By J.S. student in ph[y]si[c]k and a[str]ol[og]y. London: printed for VVilliam Funder, 1684. ESTC No. R183117. Grub Street ID 73011.
