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.

The doctrine of the Church of England concerning the Lords Day, or Sunday-Sabbath, as it is laid down in the liturgy, catechism, & Book of homilies; vindicated from the vulgar errors of modern writers, and setled upon the only proper and sure basis of Gods precept to Adam, and patriarchal practice. Wherein an essay is laid down, to prove that the patriarchal Sabbath, instituted, Gen. 2. 3. celebrated by the patriarchs before the Mosaick law, and pronounced with the other nine precepts of the Decalogue from Gods own mouth, Ex. 20th, writ by Gods finger in stone, deposited in the Ark of the everlasting Covenant, under the inspection of Cherubims, till the rending of the vail, was the same day of the week, viz. Sunday, which Christians observe in memory of the perfecting of the creation of the world, bythe redemption of mankind, celebrated by the patriarchs in hope of their resurrection by vertue of Christs future resurrection on that day.
