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 by Henry Fenwick

  • Coppin, Richard. A blow at the serpent; or a gentle answer from Maidstone Prison to appease wrath, advancing itself against truth and peace at Rochester. Together with the work of four days disputes, in the cathedral of Rochester, in the County of Kent, between several Ministers, and Richard Coppin, Preacher there, to whom very many People frequently came to hear, and much rejoiced at the Way of Truth and Peace he Preached, at the Fame whereof the Ministers in those Parts began to ring in their Pulpits, saying, ``this man Blasphemeth,'' to deter their Parishioners from hearing him. Whereupon arose the Disputes, at which were some Magistrates, some Officers, and Soldiers, peaceable and well-minded, and very many People from all Parts adjacent, before whom the Truth was confirmed and maintained. The whole matter written by the Hearers on both sides. Published for the Confirmation and Comfort of all such as receive the Truth in the love of it. By Richard Coppin, now in Maidstone Prison for the Witness of Jes. London: printed in the year 1656. Reprinted and sold by Henry Fenwick, in Silver-Street, White-Friers, Fleet-Street, [1764]. ESTC No. N15285. Grub Street ID 5010.
