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.

  • Jenkyn, William. 'O dhgov tyflov The blinde guide, or the doting doctor. Composed by way of reply to a late tediously trifling pamphlet, entituled, The youngling elder, &c. written by John Goodwin, and containing little or nothing in it, but what plainly speaketh the author thereof to lie under the double unhappinesse of seducers, to be deceiving and deceived. This reply indifferently serving for the future direction of the seducer himselfe, and also of those his mis-led followers, who with him are turned enemies to the Word and grace of God. The authority of which Word, and the efficacie of which grace are in this following treatise, succinctly, yet satisfactorily vindicated from the deplorably weake, and erroneous cavils of the said John Goodwin in his late pamphlet. By William Jenkyn, minister of the Word of God at Christ-Church in London. [London]: Printed at London by M. B[ell]. for Christopher Meridith, and are to be sold at his shop at the signe of the Crane in Pauls Church-yard, [1648]. ESTC No. R188317. Grub Street ID 76274.
