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.

  • W., T.. An allarm to the inhabitants of the earth, that they all may be awakned [sic] and shake off their poluted garments, and meet the Lord with speedy repentance, before his wrath break out against them, and none be able to quench it. And here is a true declaration of the wrath and indignation of God, which shall certainly fall upon the Priests and all that joyn with them. And here is a warning to all rulers, magistates, and men in authority, that they all do that which is just and right, and that they all take heed how they joyn in persecution (with the priests and dragon) against the lambs of Christ lest they perish together. Also a salutation to the children of Light, who are turned to the Lord especially to them in Dorcet shire. By T.W. [London: Printed in the 3d. month, for M.W., 1659.]. ESTC No. R43831.
