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.

  • Stillingfleet, Edward. A rational account of the grounds of Protestant religion: being a vindication of the Lord Archbishop of Canterbury's relation of a conference, &c. from the pretended answer by T.C. Wherein the true grounds of faith are cleared, and the false discovered; the Church of England vindicated from the imputation of schism; and the most important particular controversies between us and those of the Church of Rome throughly examined. By Edward Stillingfleet B.D. London: printed by Rob. White for Henry Mortlock at the sign of the Ph.nix in St. Pauls Church-yard near the little north-door, 1665. ESTC No. R1133. Grub Street ID 59626.
