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.

  • Austin, Robert. Allegiance not impeached: viz, by the Parliaments taking up of arms (though against the Kings personall commands) for the just defence of the Kings person, crown and dignity, the laws of the land, liberties of the subject: yea, they are bound by the oath of their allegiance, and trust reposed in them, to doe it. Proved, partly from the words of the oath it self: and partly, from the principles of nature and of law, alledged for such by the Lord Chancellor Elsmore, and twelve other judges in the case of Calvin (a Scot by birth) as appeares in the seventh part of Justice Cooks reports, in Calvins case: which case is briefly set down in the Epistle to the reader. By Robert Austine. D.D. Printed at London: by Rich. Cotes, for Joh. Bellamy, 1644. ESTC No. R11494. Grub Street ID 59774.
