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.

  • Vicars, John. The looking-glasse for malignants, enlarged. Or, The second part of Gods hand against God-haters. Containing a most true and terrible augmentation and continuation of Gods immediately evident and eminent personall-judgements fearfully inflicted on malevolent malignants, and unreasonable resisters of the most glorious worke of reformation, and of all the most pious and prudent proceedings of our present most renowned Parliament. The like (I believe) for number, nature, and time, not to be paralleld or pattern'd (to those of the first, and these of this second Looking-glasse) in any former age or history whatsoever. Wherein is also contained a most exact and true relation, especially, of that most remarkable and terrible judgement on the cavaliers drinking a health to the Devill, in an inne in Salisbury: and a briefe description of Malignants-Hall, at Bartholmews the lesse, in London. Collected for Gods due glory, and malignants just shame; by John Vicars. London: printed for I. Rothwell, at the signe of the Sun in Pauls Church-yard, 1645. ESTC No. R200001. Grub Street ID 77552.
