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.

  • Marsin, M.. The near aproach of Christ's kingdom, clearly proved by Scripture. With a certain account of the signs of the present times relating thereto. As also, that the conversion and restauration of Israel will be after the Lord's coming. That after the Lord's coming, most of th great plagues mentioned in the Revelations, will be poured out upon the earth, and the wicked. That the Beast and the false prophet will be then taken alive. That all the Christians that came in by Christ of the Gentile race, were termed heathens, in the Old Testament. And that the law and gospel speaks but to them that are under it. That after the fiery tempest, the heavens and earth will be renew'd, and all things restored as in the beginning. London: printed for M.M. and are to be sold by Tho.
