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.

  • Coote, Edmund. [The English school-master. Teaching all his scholars, of what age soever, the most easy, short, and perfect order of distinct reading, and true writing our English tongue, that hath ever yet been known or published by any. And further also, teacheth a direct course, how any unskilful person may easily both understand any hard English words which they shall in Scriptures, sermons; or elsewhere hear or read, and also be made able to use the same aptly themselves; and generally whatsoever is necessary to be known for the English speech; so that he which hath this book only, needeth to buy no other to make him fit from his letters to the grammar-school, for an apprentice, or any other private use, so far as concerneth English. And therefore it is made not only for children, though the first book be mere childish for them; but also for all other, especially for those that are ignorant in the Latin tongue. In the next page the school-master hangeth forth his table to the view of all beholders,. London: printed by I. Millet for the Company of Stationers, 1692. ESTC No. R36041. Grub Street ID 118386.
