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 Joseph Hunscot

  • Jus divinum regiminis ecclesiastici: or, the divine right of church-government, asserted and evidenced by the holy scriptures: according to the light whereof (besides many particulars mentioned after the preface) 1. The nature of a divine right is delineated. 2. The church-government: which is of divine right is described. 3. This description in the severall branches of it is duplicated and confirmed. 4. The divine right of ecclesiasticall censures, officers, and ruling assemblies is manifested. In all which it is apparent, that the Presbyteriall government, by preaching and ruling Presbyters, in congregationall, classicall and synodall assemblies, may lay the truest claim to a divine right, according to the scriptures. The second edition corrected and augmented in many places: with a brief reply to certain queries against the ministry of England: and an alphabeticall table to the whole annexed. By sundry Ministers of Christ with the city of London. London: printed by J[ames]. Y[oung]. for Joseph Hunscot and George Calvert, and are to be sold at the Stationers Hall, at the Golden Fleece in the Old Change, 1647. ESTC No. R188360. Grub Street ID 76310.
