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.

Printed for Samuel Man

  • Mede, Joseph. The apostasy of the latter times. In which, (according to divine prediction) the world should wonder after the beast, the mysterie of iniquity should so far prevaile over the mysterie of godlinesse, whorish Babylon over the virgin-church of Christ, as that the visible glory of the true church should be much clouded, the true unstained Christian faith corrupted, the purity of true worship polluted. Or, the gentiles theology of dæmons, i.e. inferiour divine powers: supposed to be mediatours betweene God and man. Revived in the latter times amongst Christians, in worshipping of angels, deifying and invocating of saints, adoring and templing of reliques, bowing downe to images, worshipping of crosses, &c. All which, together with a true discovery of the nature, originall, progresse, of the great, fatall, and solemne apostasie, are cleered. Delivered in publick some years since upon I Tim. 4. 1, 2, 3. By Joseph Mede B.D. and late Fellow of Christs College in Cambridge. London: printed by L[uke]. N[orton]. for Samuel Man dwelling at the signe of the Swan in Pauls Church-yard, 1644. ESTC No. R19597. Grub Street ID 77179.
