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.

VVitty atheist covinced [sic], and, almost perswaded to forsake the broad-way, and become as faithfull a friend to religion, as he hath been a bitter enemy. Only it fares with him, as it did with a great man that Bede speaks of: who being admonished in his sickness to repent, answered, he would not yet; for, if he should recover, his friends and companions would laugh at him; and growing sicker and sicker, the against prest him: but then his answer was, It is now too late, for I am judged and condemned already. By R. Younge of Roxwel in Essex. London: printed by E[dward].
